My favourite thing about camping with dolls is that they can bring along so much more camping stuff on the trip than we can, becausetheirs takes up so little room and doesn’t weigh as much! So we can enjoy the cool stuff vicariously.

My favorite part about camping is being in the out doors and listening to all of the night sounds, and sitting around a camp fire and enjoying the peace of no traffic and not a lot of lights.

My favorite part about camping is the quiet most of the time. I love to read and it is so nice to be able to do that without other noise. Then when I’m not reading I love the cooking and eating outside with the family, setting around the campfire and enjoying all that God has given us.

My favorite part of camping is getting to explore new places with my family. My daughter and I like to take a couple of our dolls with us and get pictures of our girls in some of the places we visit. Last summer we went to PEI and took pictures of her Maplelea girl Jenna, wearing her Anne of Green Gables outfit, and my American Girl Felicity, wearing her original meet dress, at Green Gables cottage and along the hiking trails at the Green Gables park. My daughter absolutely loved it.

My best time camping was when I’d pack the old stationwagon with all my supplies and the show dogs and hit the dog shows for the weekend! Had all my “comforts” from home-bed(mattress) coffeepot & food plus all the things for the dogs! I showed Lhasa Apsos and they don’t take up much room lol

My favorite thing about camping is sitting around the campfire. Of course that includes ghost stories, and s’mores! Also do bananas that have a section removed down the length of the banana deep enough to accommodate chocolate chips and the small marshmallows on the top of each chip. Lay the one section of the peel you’ve pulled back but didn’t remove. Do this in the curve of the banana, the wrap it twice in aluminum foil and toss in the fire for about 30 minutes! Once completely hot and chocolate/ marshmallows have melted. Eat out of the peel!!! Delish!!
