Camping trip pointers

When planning a camping trip to the Oregon coast for 5 kids, 2 adults, and a 7 passenger mini van, here are some pointers for packing and preparing:

• Don't mention taking an extra kid with you until you are sure there is enough seating in the caravan of vans driving to the campground.
• Be sure the pancake breakfast served at the campground is for everyday.  We don't have to pack food for breakfasts!
• Bring lots of diapers and wipes for littles.
• Start packing several days in advance, but be sure to leave some clothes out so kids have something to wear!
• Don't over pack!  Thankfully there are laundry services at the campground.  
• Bring lots of warm clothes for cooler weather on the beach.
  

We'll see how well I did with packing after we get there!  I hope the rain stays away and the kids have fun.  E. and S. have never been camping before.
