Confused
I am not sure how to set up tents. I am wondering is there any place online where I can read about beach tents?
I looked up on Walmart website, but I could not find any closed beach tents.
My family and I are planning to stay till sunset and we want a closed beach tent.
Is it possible to get one?
Can anyone please give useful websites?
Thanks a ton before hand!

~*I love m
Okay so my family and I have a pretty busy life, but now since it is summer and the kids do not have school only summer activities all they do is sit around anymore. I want to do something fun that we all can enjoy I just want some ideas I will give you the age of my kids so you can help.
Boy- 17
Girl- 13
Girl-11
Girl-9
Boy- 6
I know there ages are varied so I want something to keep them all happy. Thanks.
By the way teenagers will not do the whole family picnic thing they think it is so "not cool mom". Ha ha
Answer
Bring them to the ocean, all ages can enjoy a trip to the beach. Get a huge neighborhood or family game of kickball, soccer, or badminton going in the yard with the older kids helping the younger ones. Do they have bikes? My family likes to go for a family bike ride. We like to ride on the recreational trails from our home to town, have lunch at Subway, then ride back home, but that can be improvised to whatever is near you. We encourage the kids to keep going as long as they can, but if they need to they can take breaks and we carry plenty of water for the trip. There are some family games that can be fun for all ages. I like Cranium, Apples to Apples, Scattergories and Uno. On a hot day, turn on a sprinkler or have the kids toss water balloons. They might find a family BBQ a bit cooler than a family picnic. Let the kids camp outside in tents overnight and roast marshmallows in a firepit and run around the yard with sprinklers after dark. Turn on the kids favorite radio station or pop in a favorite cd and have everyone start dancing, including you, no matter how goofy you look or feel, or rent a video on hip-hop dancing and challenge everyone to try to keep up with you. Have everyone pick out some old clothes, toys, books, etc. and have a big family yardsale where everyone gets to keep the money for their own things. It's a great way to get rid of clothing and toys the kids have outgrown and they will be more willing to part with their things if they can keep the money from their things. The younger kids will enjoy operating a lemonade stand which their customers won't be able to resist on a hot day. If you don't have a convenient location for a yardsale, you can have them donate their items to a salvation army or thrift store which is a good way to teach the kids about the value of giving and helping others. Have the kids help you plant a garden and have each family member responsible for weeding and watering a row. When you have dug or tilled a big enough plot, the kids can help pull out the rocks and roots. Everyone can help harvest their own row and if there is enough, you can donate what you don't need to a local food bank and the kids will be proud to be able to help members of the community who are needy. Have everyone in the family think of five or six activities that they would like to do with the family and write them down on a piece of paper which they can fold up and put in a jar. Pick one day a week that each person in the family can take turns pulling a paper from the jar. The family will do that activity for the day and everyone in the family has their turns to do the things they enjoy. You can lay down some ground rules such as a spending limit for the day or a limit on how far you are willing to travel. You also might want to have them each choose one activity for rainy days or indoors and keep those in a separate jar just in case. Even if some of the kids occasionally moan and groan about how corny or uncool the activities are, you should keep encouraging them to join in and participate even if it's to set an example for the younger ones and be a part of the family. Chances are, if they see that everyone else is having fun, they will eventually give in and give it a shot and when they look back on those times when they are older, they will remember how silly and fun it was and they will be grateful for the time they were able to spend with the family learning that sometimes it's ok to be uncool and silly, sometimes it's actually fun. Good luck! I hope you will be able to use some of these ideas. Sorry for the looooong post.
