Camping is a blast unless nature touches me in any way.

We camp all of the time. Even in our own front yard , AND in our garage. We're very redneckish, but I never knew that until now. Camping is kinda insane, because your taking 8 people, (2 wont go) and the children clearly hate each other. You put them in a cramped car together ,and then in a tent all the while insisting that they should be having fun. How fun is that? They may - or may not have had a bath, or brushed their teeth, and it's possible that they've had beans, and marshmellows. I have prayed to God many times to help a child not to get sick after eating too many roasted, black marshmellows. Once a child woke up with throw-up all over herself, and she said to me, "oh, Mom I am so sorry that I threw up", I said it's okay, but what she didn't know was that SHE didn't throw up, her sister threw up all over HER whilst she slept, and that kid was mostly clean..........

Still I beg them to try to have some fun , and BE NICE! After All poor Chinese children never get to go camping ever- even though they made our camping excursion possible by all of this crap that they made for us.
Then I pull out my view-master slide projector , and demand silence..... Oh, the fun. hahaha
