Things I Learned While Camping

Yes, my camping trip was a success. The weather was perfect and a good time was had by all. I even learned a few things that I did not know prior to my adventure.
Possibly the most important thing that I learned was that my kids could get by without the internet, video games, and television for four days. I was impressed. I did monitor them closely, looking for tremors, convulsions and drooling. None of these symptoms were displayed. Well, maybe a little drooling but I do not think it had anything to do with the lack of electronics.
I also learned that fresh air does not cause any sort of adverse reaction in my children. Nor did the sun cause lesions or blisters. I was a little concerned about this. Once again there were no problems.
Unfortunately I have learned that using the internet is much like riding a bike. You never forget. It took mere seconds for them to return to their zombie like state.
Enough about the kids. I learned that there is only so many hamburgers and hotdogs you can eat in a short period of time before you want to vomit.
I am not very good at charades either. However I do know a lot of famous people even though I can not think of too many whose first name begins with U. I managed to come up with Uma Thurman at just the right time.
I also never realized that hammocks, although known for their peace and rest inducing qualities can also cause multiple small children to have bumps and bruises. First aid kits are a must have if you are going camping.
Possibly the most important thing that I learned is that going to work does not generate the same feelings within me that going camping does. Who would have thought?
