My kids are just winding down a ‘first week of school party’ at our house. I’m not sure how many teens we peaked at… Around 12 14-17 yr olds. This is a semi constant around here, roughly 1-2x a month for most of the year. I’m sure at some point it’ll happen without us here.

This assumes you have cell access. Not everywhere in the world does.

This varies with location. Our nearest neighbors are just shy on a mile away. Their cameras aren’t much good.

Kinks mean the process is working.

Eh, I wound up with a YouTube premium subscription years ago when I subscribed to Google play music, way back when it was YouTube Red. I cannot imagine going without at this point. It became YouTube music at some point, and… Yeah.

Right? After years of feeling like the only pro-firefox person left on the planet, the pro Firefox sentiment lately is a breath of fresh air, to say the least.

We took our youngest son camping regularly starting around one. He was still breastfeeding and in diapers… Actually, they both were the first time or three we went camping. THAT was a bit rough. We were into cloth diapers… But, ultimately decided that, while camping disposables were worth it.

Yes. My boys, (now 13& 16) grew up camping on many a spring/summer/fall weekend. Being without tech is key. That’s half the point and fun of it. Let them bring toys of all sorts for both inside and outside the tent.

Mine always used to bring army men damned near everywhere. I’m sure there’s piles of them at dozens of sites we camped at over the years. Water guns if it’s warm. Glow sticks for at night. Play in the mud and the rain. Get dirty. stay up late.

Extra socks and maybe a change of shoes. Let them go barefoot. Don’t over plan too much. See what’s up. And go with it. We’re getting ready for our vaca ourselves 8+ days of camping across the northeast:) it should be grand

Hahaha this is great

I’m on day… 3. I just signed up for a couple more instances to try to find my y ‘home’… This place seems chill…
