Camping Lights

Recently, Josh and I started buying a few things that we really needed for our camping trips. Though not a necessity, I had something I had to add to our shopping list - camping lights! I still remember the owl lights my family used when I camped as a child and I guess I wanted something the kids would always remember. There were owl lights on eBay...
but I really wanted something unique to our family.
I bought these great bug lights. The auction description called them bumblebees, but I am pretty sure they are lightning bugs (or fireflies for you northerners).

They are so cute and different. They are also vintage, so that gives them lots of character. I can't wait to take them camping because I know the kids are going to love them. While they aren't technically a camping necessity, they are, in my opinion, a "camping with kids" necessity. They make a campsite warm and inviting for little ones and make lots of memories.
