campground activ. followup to Jen
Comments (4)I just remembered another fun activity around the campfire. You start a CAMPING story and pass it on to the next person. They continue the story in their own way then pass it on to the next person. Gets pretty funny. Some folks will surprise you with their imagination. Others will nod and wave you off when it's their turn. Smile and pass them up. They can enjoy just listening to the story as it goes who knows where.... Ok, we could even try it here. It's winter and we're sorta stuck, eh? Who wants to start this continuing story thread and we will end it after 12 consecutive posts. Come on, campers, you know you want to.... Who's gonna build the fire? Mine never get going too well... Some people just have that fire building talent. Once, I had my nephew build a "small" fire to cook our meals on. When I came back, he had a blazing fire so large and hot, that we couldn't get near it to begin to cook for half an hour. whew.... (he's a Vegas City Boy) UNLV lol...See Morecampground activities
Comments (18)cracker stackin' How high can you stack soda crackers? Also, have each kid grab five crackers and stuff them in their mouths at the same time, when you blow a whistle. The first one to "whistle" is the winner. great fun. Write a short story or journey of a camper. leave the nouns all blank. For each blank, have the kids come up unbeknownst to them a noun. If your story has twenty nouns, write down 20 nouns from the kids. Now, put them in a hat and pass the hat around the circle to each kid. You now begin reading" Jen's camping Adventure weekend" that you of course wrote. Each time you come to a blank space, ( a noun) you have a kid pick a folded piece of paper out of the hat and insert the noun. It goes round and round and gets pretty funny. (ie) Jen woke up early in the morning excited to begin her camping trip. She began checking out the car to make sure it was all prepared for the trip. To the engine, she added__________ A kid pulls out the word "A hermit crab" then passes the hat to the next person. You read on: "She then hooked up ___________ and _________ and even________ to the trailer hitch and was very happy at the hard work accomplished so far. fill in your own blanks and on and on... screamin' ball toss. For a large group, bring a beach ball. Every time the ball in in the air, everyone yells as loud as possible. When the ball is caught by someone in the group, immediate sudden silence. Everyone stops. A real giggler. You can fake tossing it up at times. As the ball goes round and round up in the air, from person to person, everyone is hollering. Sometimes, long yells and sometimes short yells or sharp burst as it goes from one person to another quickly. Fun in the water, too. hoola- hoop frisbee golf.... Bring nine hoolahoops and set up a course like a golf course out over a grassy area. From a start area, each golfer tosses a frisbee into the hoola-hoop to score. keep score how many tosses it takes to get around the course. campfire race! Have small sets of small kindling set up 50 ft. away from each small fire pit. EAch team of two people, Usually an adult and a child (due to the matches) stands by their fire pit and when you give the signal, they scurry to their pile of little kindling chips, twigs, etc. and hurry back quickly and build a little fire. You have two stakes hammered in the ground with a piece of "TWINE" tied between them. The teams put their kindling under the twine and the object is to build a fire and be the first team to burn through and "BREAK" the twine. Think about this one awhile. Fire and certain groups are right out.... eh? I always liked it, though....See MoreMt. Desert Campground - unfriendly, unorganized
Comments (3)I also am sorry to hear of your bad experience at Mt Desert Campground, My husband and I have been going there for over thirty years, and have never had a problem, one time, we made our reservations late and ended up way back at the back of the campground under the pines and we got eaten alive by skeeters, but were still happy as heck to be there. We love it there! We always get a letter from them with all of our reservation info on it and take it with us when registering. That might be a good idea, next time....See MoreSoft Food Ideas
Comments (49)The "coffee jello" recipe: 1 - 1 1/2 packets unflavored gelatin 2 tablespoons warm water 2 cups strong freshly brewed coffee 3-4 tablespoons (or to taste) sugar or simple syrup Sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, ice cream, or half and half Soften gelatin in 2 T of warm water in bowl. Add hot coffee, stirring until gelatin dissolves. Add sugar, stirring until dissolved. Pour 1/4 of mixture into each of 4 dessert glasses. Refrigerate until set. Serve topped with sweetened condensed milk, whipped cream, ice cream, or half and half. Variation using instant coffee: Follow recipe, but still 3-4 tablespoons instant coffee into 2 cups hot water and substitute for brewed coffee. Cappuccino jelly variation: Follow recipe, then cool mixture slightly and stir in 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of milt, cream, or half and half. Serve topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with cinnamon. I don't remember where I got this; I haven't made it in quite some time. I'll have to give it another try myself. One more thought: mashed avocado....See Moreherb_mania
