Things I learned while camping with my family...

If you'd like to revisit last year's list, feel free. For now, here is the 2008 list.

• If we go on vacation, I will start my period, period.
• Strep throat + Diarrhea = Streptacaca
• Chiggers are the scurge of humanity. I currently have a host of them in the bend of my knees.
• There is no deodorant that is a match for Texas.
• The woods are creepy. That's all there is to it.
• Head lice is an interesting creature.
• A seesaw that only seats two is a sure-fire way to make 3 children fight like a pack of rabid dogs.
• Mileage in a car with 3 children ages 6, 7, and 9 should be calculated like dog years. 1 mile should = 7.
• Cherry Coke Zero should not be marketed to resemble it's non-zero'd counterpart. Cherry Coke withdrawal is a very real condition.
• Woodland creatures do not care if you shave your pits or your legs, but your family might.
• Not all sheep have 2 ears.
