Yesterday we made a few more camping reservations for the summer, looks like our summer plans are shaping up.  Received our new parts for the trailer yesterday so now we just need a warm weekend to put everything together. 

The new thing on my to do list this year is to make my own trail mix for our camping trips.  I tried one recipe I found online for the kids, it is mixing Teddy Grahams, mini marshmallows, mini M&M's, and Peanut Butter M&M's together.  I then put about a 1/2 a cup into little snack zip lock bags.  So far they are a hit with the kids.  The one thing I have noticed is the Teddy Grahams get a little soft from the moisture in the mini marshamallows and the mini marshmallows dryed out little.  But this doesn't have seemed to have phased my kids as they are thoroughly enjoying them which is the point after all.  I need to pick up some items for an adult trail mix.  I am thinking chocolate covered almonds, some dried fruit, different types of nuts, and maybe some granola.  We will see what I find at the store and end up with.
