Camping Part 1

Ever tried camping with a two year old? How about 2 two year olds? One of whom has decided that camping is the perfect time to begin potty training. Add a three year, five year old, six year old, eight year old, nine year, summertime in the south, lots of sand, mosquitoes and two tents. Not to mention the raccoons. Sound like your kind of relaxing vacation? Sorry Chris, your trip to the Cape or Vineyard has nothing on my summer vacation! I had so much fun that we only stayed for three days. [I am sooo happy that my husband talked me out of making reservations for a whole week.
A WHOLE WEEK!
(Yes, I am a glutton for punishment, and yes, once again my husband was right! When is he ever wrong?)] In fact it was so relaxing it only took me four days of bed rest to recover. And yes, of course I was the only one who ended up burned. Who knew that the Copertone baby sunblock only works on babies? You know, the one that is supposedly 50 SPF? Certainly not me! By the way, anyone else have any ideas on how to respond when a stranger tells you that Head & Shoulders does wonders for dandruff? (Yes, I burned my scalp! Very badly. Like blistering and peeling).
