I used to do this activity with my family every year.
It was an outdoor activity
We used to plan for it at least a month before summer vacation
We had to do lots of packing and run errands to make sure we had everything set beforehand.
We used to take lots of insect repellent spray and we couldn't forget about a first aid kit, just in case.
We would sleep in tents and do some stargazing at night.
Sometimes, my father would take his telescope to see the stars and some planets.
We used to have a lot of fun telling horror stories around a fire.
