ok a lot...
Anyway, Camp Bestival has been and gone and we are back in one piece and virtually back to normal. (The girls sleep patterns are still sorting themselves though)
I thought, while it's still fresh in the my mind the things that we felt worked well for us while festivalling with a toddler.
- Taking lots of little snacks that will be eaten with no - Ella's Kitchen Smoothies, Humzingers, mini cheeses, crisps and raisins were among the only things she would eat (apart from some pizza from a stall) also mini bags of Haribo were good bribes for sitting back in the pushchair! Also Capri Sun drinks were very handy and saved a few quid on buying her lots of drinks.
- Pre packed meals for the girl- Organix, Hipp, although these had mixed success, they will last in the cupboard for a bit so it's not a waste.
- Meals for us- we decided to cater for breakfast and took a huge pack of rolls, some mushrooms, pre sliced onions and a huge pack of bacon and had bacon rolls everyday (although I was sick of them by sunday so taking a break from bacon now) I did two evening meals, both from the freezer, lamb curry and veggie mince chilli.
- Preparing the girl by putting up the tent for her to play in and letting her sleep in her ready bed before the event. We had no problem with putting her to bed and she was usually the last up!
- Make sure the zips of the tent zipped high up out of reach so that she couldn't reach them and
escape. - BUBBLES- as my husband said he wished he had bought her a bubblegun as felt bad when he saw lots of kids dads with bubble guns and we only had poundland bubble swords (but it was better than nowt!)
I'll be posting a review of the festival in due course along with some photographs.
