Panic, panic, panic.And I feel like a failure at camp-home-making because clearly everyone else must have all these great tips and tricks and goes on living just like they’re at home in their freshly-vacuumed houses, because that’s just how it must be..

So, clearly we’ve never camped with anyone else before.This time though, Kennedy met a little friend on the second day we were there.Well, we got to know this girl’s parents a bit and we hung out with them while the kids played.

These are the “good campers” that I’m always wanting to be like.They were there for a week and a half.

We were being ambitious this year and decided to do 3 nights.

They had this whole camping thing figured out..-8 tbsp of pickled pepper “juice” (from a jar of banana peppers, pepperoncini peppers, or similar).

-2 tsp of sugar.-4 cups of water.

-1/2 cup of warm water.-2 tbsp of corn starch.
