I'm a #######. Re:Advice:Re:Family.Camping.gif

So I bought my wife what she wanted. A camping set. Tent, chairs, mats, sleeping bags, so forth and so on.
This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PQT9WZ8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Gonna take the family camping this coming weekend out at the hunting club.
Other than xanax and whiskey, what do I need to make sure I bring?
Edit to say: I've been camping before, Just not with kids

the weather isn't that bad and close to the truck.
Looking at purchasing more hiking type gear along and along. Won't be able to take the kids on that until they are a little older though. Daughter of probably could. Son of would jump off the mountain.

I do regret whenever I was going through the divorce that I did just up and thru-hike the AT, not sure I'll ever have that opportunity or time to do it again.
