The weather is so nice right now, but I know Mother Nature could change that in an instant. However, we took advantage of it, and grilled out last evening. It was so nice to enjoy our porch too.
Just a tip on camping. Camping was on my mind this past weekend. We only got one camping trip in last year.
We typically have extra (cloth) tablecloths in our camper, and they are vintage ones.
We've discovered that they not only work nice to cover the picnic tables, but they double as other needs as well.
They work great for extra blankets on cold nights, they are great for placing on the grass for sitting, come in handy if you forgot towels for swimming or showering, help cover wet chairs or benches, and can be hung around the sides of an easy-up or camper awning, to block sun and wind.
I love to shop for them when Hubby and I have the chance to do so. We use them on the kitchen tables, and porch table's too. I don't buy expensive ones, so it's not every year I find one to buy.
A few more tips I came across that may help ease toting the food. I typically cook my ground beef prior, but most of the time the entire pot of whatever to reheat over the fire. We always bring bacon to cook for breakfast, but I wonder if freezing it (pre-cooked) would take the "fun" out of campfire meals and camping. Hm. The kids love to cook over a campfire.
Collapsible hampers work great to store in your camper. Just pop it up, and put in a large trash bag for a trash bin. They great to have for outdoor gatherings for potlucks etc. Just put a few around outside for convenient trash bins. When your done, simply tie up the trash and dispose, and collapse the hamper for storage.
