The wives (6 of us) got together several weeks before the trip to plan meals and equipment. We borrowed a great camping stove, and each of us was responsible for bringing and cooking one meal (I made a pancake-and-sausage breakfast). We did a few take-out meals (pizza one night, donuts and coffee one morning, etc.) and did packable lunches (sandwiches, snacks) for the beach each day.

Lots of beach time
The "baby pools" were a big hit.

We learned to "just make it work" for babies' nap time (Hailey on Lissa and Mallory in a little pop-up tent):
Everyone loved marshmallows, of course.
Dirt time and tree time were also a hit.
The kids told me their 3 favorite things about camping. Nate: 1) marshmallows, 2) playing in the water, and 3) sleeping in the tent. Lucy: 1) going over to DJ's campsite, 2) eating s'mores, and 3) playing with the glow sticks Daddy brought. We had a lot of dirt, a lot of sand, a lot of marshmallows, and a lot of fun. I'm glad we went, and the kids loved it!
