Traveling with kids?


Travel Info
we're going to be camping in Colorado for a family vacation with my husbands siblings/dad/etc...there will be a 14 month old and my baby who is 3 months...what are some ideas for activities?

Travel Tips
14 mo old - We bought a child carrier backpack for my first son and that sures makes nature oriented stuff easier. My son loved the pack, and so if we went on a hike he just road along in the pack, the sites alone will keep them entertained for the most part.

At 3 months you can get a front carrier, and tote that one along.

Wherever you camp, scout out the area very well before you let the 14 mo old wander around, make sure there are not any dangerous critters or bushes or whatnot. Have a big tent so they can also just use the tent as a playarea.

Buy a few new toys (don't go overboard) and give them a new toy when you first get there, when they bore of that one, give them another new toy.... depends on the attention span of your child how long this will or if it will work at all. (my 16 mo old this would never work, his attention span is like 3 minutes.)

Others
short nature walks, maybe a dip in the water (if it's warm enough) and discovery-oriented things. Camp fires with s'mores always top it off. Best thing is...all that mountain air will tire them out early! woo hoo!
some ideas can be to go out to a store and buy some baby toys to keep your baby busy while you can do things that you cant do with a three month old. You could still go by water but make sure you hold your baby and there are always ways to do the things you want even when you have kids. If that does not fall through and you dont want to have to worrie about your guys children all of the time find a responsible babysitter that is 18 so that she knows what she is doing and if there is any emergency she would be able to drive! have a safe trip!!
