Question 2 on IMM 5285 asks if my spouse and I went on outings / trips together, and to provide some photos of those trips.
What exactly do they mean by outings / trips? Do they just mean dates, or events that we have had as a couple that we also have on camera (photos?)

Also, im wondering how much information in the form of text is alright to write for this section.
I wrote about 3 paragraphs (half page worth) very briefly explaining some of our trips/outings, + I wrote that they can find additional photo's of said events supplied in the package, with information of the trip/outing written on the backside of the photos. The truth is, i only wrote about 3 paragraphs because my wife and i never really had too many occasions to go on trips/outings, not to mention we're not a couple that takes a lot of photos of ourselves. Though with that being said I've given about 40 photos with a few separate events including our marriage.

What do you guys think? Is this enough? Or am I missing something.
Many thanks

It really depends on the VO. For some (ahem) difficult VOs you would send as much as you can. We however got by with a minimalist approach.

Sounds to me like you will be fine, but again it depends on the VO

We also did about 3 paragraphs of descriptions, but we went on quite a few outings together. Keep in mind that receipts are also acceptable proof for outings and trips, so hopefully you have some of those still. We gave them about 50 photos (wedding, road trips, vacations, coffee with each other's family, family BBQs, etc.).
