Camping Packing List

Ok! It is the day before we leave to go camping. And sadly, I haven't made a packing list as of yet. (Uh-oh!) So I thought I would post my packing list here! On me blog!

Firstly, I should tell you a little about our trip. Usually, we take a 6 hour drive north to Fenske Lake, which is right next to the town, Ely. Ely is your typical tourist trap town-but they do have some great restaurants. I think they also have a shoe store where you can buy Birkenstock's, my favorite sandals!
While my family is at Fenske we have a wonderful time tent-camping.
Mikey usually goes fishing; he'll leave at 8 or 9 in the morning, come back for lunch, and then leave to go fishing again until supper. It's about all he does. But if he's happy, I'm ok with that. :)

I think my dad gets a kick out of being a "lumberjack." You know, out in the wilderness, chopping wood, and cooking steak in the fire pit. That's right. I said steaks. When we go camping we always have one night that we have steaks. Yum!

My mom just really enjoys being outdoors. She's been camping at Fenske since she was a little kid. But this year we're going to try something new! We're going camping at Cadotte Lake! It's also north of where we live, but it's only a 4 hour drive instead of the 6 hour drive to Fenske.

We've never been there before, but I think it will be pretty fun. Mom said that if we don't like it, we can just leave the campground and head off to Fenske. So no matter what, we'll have a good time. :)

I should really get back to my original job. The packing list. Things to note when I'm writing the list: we're leaving tomorrow (Monday) and we're going to be camping til Saturday (I think, either that or we're leaving Friday). That makes 6 days and 5 nights. Here goes:

2 shorts
3 pairs of jeans
1 Capri
1 sundress

2 or 3 tank tops
4 shirts
1 long sleeved shirt
1 sweatshirt
1 track jacket

Bandanna (If you don't have a shower-and most likely you don't have a blow drier-you're going to need something to cover up your wild hair)
Baseball cap

PJ's: sweatpants and shirt

7 pairs of socks
7 pairs of undies
4 "boulder holders"
1 belt
Tennis shoes-Asics and Nike
Birkenstock sandals
Flip Flops

Toothbrush

Pony Tail Holders
"Feminine Products"
Body lotion
Hair brush
Nail Clipper (you'll never know when you'll get a hang nail or a sliver!)
Razors (bring 2 disposables: they can rust if kept in a humid climate after being used, and you might loose one)

Some basic makeup products-Cover up, eye shadow, blush

Ipod charger

*Don't use this list for all of your camping needs, as I am not the only one going on the trip- my mom is packing all of the other necessities*

So that's everything! I hope to write about my trip next week! Over and out!
