Here are the top 10 things that I learned on my first camping excursion last weekend...
10. You should check and make sure you have enough tents before the day you actually go camping.
9. You should not get up the morning of your camping trip and realize that your children have nothing to sleep on.
8. When camping at the lake, the bug spray "OFF-Skintastic" just does not cut it. You must have something industrial like "Ultra Deep Woods OFF".
7. It is not good to leave the ingredients for Smores outside where the hot sun and ants can find them.
6. Hearing the phrase, "If you get up in the middle of the night, you might want to take a flashlight to look for snakes" does not exactly lend itself to having sweet dreams.
5. The faster you zip the tent, the less bugs you have sleeping with you.
4. If you wake up in the middle of the night to something large sniffing around your tent, chanting the phrase "It's just a dog, it's just a dog..." can be rather calming.
3. Planning to recreate the Cracker Barrel's "Campfire Grill" might be harder than you originally thought given that you don't have the resources of the Cracker Barrel.
2. Watching Scot attempt to direct the children to set their tent up is a highly entertaining activity.
and the #1 thing I learned on my first camping trip is...1. Never, never, never go camping in Georgia on the hottest day of the year so far! It was SO hot!
