we have always made things fun for the kids, laughing in the face of adversity. My wife and I are sort of anal as far as keeping the trailer clean and spotless but all bets are off when the kids are with us. It's only dirt that can be cleaned up and as long as the kids have fun, laugh and giggle then it's all worth it.
My wife and I can camp anytime but it's not often we can get all 4 together at the same time, soccer games etc. plus, their moms and dads, our son and daughter have busy work schedules and their own plans.
As long as no one gets hurt or cries, then dirt or that mess becomes a non-issue. They were all good for cleanup prior to packing.
one night 2 of them went to bed earlier than normal they were just tuckered from their day at the beach. The older 2 went with me to the beach at night to watch a lightning and thunder storm (keeping safety in mind)
These are all memories they'll take with them through out their lives.
We've already planned next year's trip
