However, after a really wonderful weekend I'm singing a new tune. I did learn/realize a few things from the trip:
1. Check the park schedule of events. Otherwise you might be camping during a Tejano Music Festival, in which case you can listen to Tejano Music at a volume level akin to a concert until 3am. (Except for that hour and a half where another camper decided to have their own version of battle of the bands and we enjoyed 80's rock dueling Tejano. Kumbia Kings beat out AC/DC in case you were wondering.)
2. You don't have to be at Kohl's for people to stare at you. I guess people don't see sights like this very often.
3. Kids will climb on anything (I didn't learn this as much as was reminded of it)
4. Being sticky is worth it if you are roasting marshmallows to make s'mores.
5. Boys LOVE fire. Seriously, they love it and are mesmerized by it.
6. My husband is awesome. (He let Amy sleep with him in his sleeping bag all night long. That is a serious sacrifice for Jared. He should get a medal or something.)
7. My kids love each other, and play well together especially without four walls around them.
8. We need a bigger tent (something about sleeping 7 people in a 5-6 man tent)
