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. I was a little concerned about this. Once again there were no problems.
I discovered that when dragged away from the internet and television my children could be just as entertaining and funny as the comedians on Comedy Network that they would have on 24-7 if I allowed.
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?
