- Miss J helped putting up our tent on our First Family Camping Trip
- Mr. Z is also a great helper to put up the tent
Kids love to help out. And here are a great example during our recent camping trip. They jumped right in to help out in putting up the tent. I think that what make camping fun for the whole family. The sense of togetherness and working together really bond them. Until 10 minutes later when they fight over the flashlights but that’s another story. :)
Putting up a family tent is not as hard as I thought it would be once we have some practicing. It’s a great idea to try it out at home in your backyard for first time camper. The first time I put my tent up at home it took me over an hour to figure things out. Ok.. Maybe because I’m a bit directional challenge when it comes to tent. But every newbie will probably face the same problem. The 2nd time we put up our tent on our first family backyard camping, I did it in under 20 minutes. And this time, it took us about 15 minutes. Once you figured how to do it, it’s that easy. Wonder how fast I can put it up next time? :) Yes.. there will be more camping from The Q Family for sure!
Here is my contribution for this Photo Friday. Head on over to Delicious Baby for more fun photos from travelers around the world.

You are right…the kids love a sense of accomplishment when they help you do something (especially if it isn’t clean their room!). I am so glad that you had such a great time!
It sounds like you have the put up the tent part all under control, I suppose if you know what you are doing it’s pretty straight forward but I have never got to grips with that. It is such a nice sight to see kids working together helping with the family adventure. Great moments captured on camera.
Couldn’t agree more. The sense of working together as a family is a great reason to go camping (that and the toasted marshmallows!).
Fall sounds like a great time for camping, and your two look like little experts! Cute shots!
It’s been years since we put up a tent! I’m sure it would take me a loooooong time to get one set up these days :lol:
Wow, that’s the time to beat! Love the helpers, this is the kind of picture that moms love :)
how much fun is that? our daughter puts up a little tent sometimes, and then plays in it all day. great photos!
Now these pictures make camping look really enjoyable! I’m not a big camper, but for some reason I’ve been having urges lately, I guess becasue deep down I know my son would really love it!
It is amazing how far tents have come. They are pretty easy to put up now. I remember the days when it was so complicated. I like it a lot better now! You are getting pretty fast!
Looks like fun, fun, fun all the way!
