While waiting to join a tour, Ranger Kevin persuaded us to do the Junior Ranger activity. Keep in mind, we&#8217;re in our 40s and had zero kids with us. We obliged, they took us to a very official swearing-in ceremony, and we received our wooden badges. What a joy!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ashley says on camping with kids: &#8220;The best family travel advice we ever got: Expect that at some point, it&#8217;s going to be terrible. There will be a moment when everyone becomes irritable or completely lose their shit. Anticipating that part makes the entire trip more enjoyable. Now, when that happens, my husband and I look at each other and shrug, &#8216;This is the terrible part.'&#8221; (Agreed!!!)<\/p>\n<p>Meghan says on Mint Chocolate Mousse: &#8220;In my youth, I spent many years scooping ice cream. One thing I can say is that people who love mint chocolate love mint chocolate. No one was ever as excited to see the flavor on the menu as mint-chocolate people. I found it so sweet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Morgan says about moms, what do you always keep in your bag? &#8220;Growing up, I had health conditions that required frequent visits to doctors, hospital stays, and spending a lot of time in waiting rooms. My mom&#8217;s trick for entertaining me was that she would let me look at the stuff in her purse. Keys! Lipstick! My relationship with my mom was difficult, but I would give anything to travel back in time to look at her purse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Photo by Annie Spratt\/Unsplash.)<\/p>\n<section class=\"article-meta aside-meta\">\n<p><span>0<\/span> notes<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are you up to this weekend?
