Camping Prep

The time has come for our Labor Day weekend camping trip! We are heading east to good old Leavenworth to camp along Icicle Creek :) Usually we camp with friends but this will be our first time out on our own.. could be interesting. I planned a menu, but we never seem to want to eat what we have planned for a specific day so I just made a list of breakfasts, lunches & dinners that we could pick and choose what we want each day. I also made a list of everything I would need to pack. Now, my 'thing' when going on any sort of trip is to write lists so that I cannot forget anything. This helps keep my stress levels/headaches at a minimum. Here are my lists, feel free to copy and use :)
