Is camping with kids really a holiday?!!

So we are all getting excited about going on holiday. We are off down to Devon to stay with Nanna and Grandad for a few days, before heading down to South Devon to put up the tent. I wonder why it is called a holiday when you go away with small children? You do everything you normally do, change nappies, get children dressed, tidy up after them, sort their clothes, put things away, make their meals, wash up, you just do it all in a different location. We still have to sort and pack everything before we go, sort it all out and do a mountain of washing when we get back. Perhaps we should just call it a ‘change of location’ rather than a ‘holiday’, at least until they get a bit older or we decided to go for something all inclusive (now that would be a holiday). Having said all that, I do love camping, the kids get to play outside, ride their bikes, go to bed late (& hopefully sleep in for a bit??!!) I love sitting outside the tent in the evening sunshine, reading a book, listening to music with a nice glass of something cool!
