Are you looking for an easy and yet enjoyable weekend getaway? If so, why not stay right in your backyard. Plan a backyard campout.

You do not have to spend much, if anything, to pull off an exciting and truly enjoyable weekend outdoors.

To make this trip to the backyard acceptable consider the following tips.

• Keep the weekend simple. You do not have to do many things to still have a lot of fun in this environment. Best of all, the bathroom is close by and you do not have to worry about uninvited visitors.
• Do put up a tent. This is a process you should involve the kids in. Not only is it a learning experience, but it is part of the outdoor experience. They will want to do their part to pulling it off.
• Play a few sports or just get a chance to run around the outdoors. Kids can find the habitats of animals like birds in their nests and even where the ant’s homes are. You can then plan a nature hike, especially if your backyard is large enough or offers some wooded areas. Look for signs of animals.
• Plan a great meal. Over the open fire, you can cook a meal that is unique and yet simple. Even just roasting hotdogs can be a lot of fun for a child. Do allow them to help you to cook. Building a fire is something older kids can appreciate themselves.
• Make sure you make time for looking at the stars. Tell ghost stories or just sit around the campfire and talk. It will help you all to bond and make the evening a memorable one for you all.

Keep in mind that as a weekend getaway, the backyard may not seem like something all that interesting, but it can be just that and much more. Do invest the time in making it a success. You can make sure that no one gets to go in the house for anything but to wash up or to use the bathroom. This will keep everyone having fun in this unique setting. They will likely love every minute of this time with you.
