This past weekend I took the boys camping for the first time. It wasn’t a complete disaster, but had I planned to go even just a day earlier I would have been much better prepared. I wasn’t going to go,  but one of my friends asked me to take her son so I made it happen. I ended up taking 2 friend’s kids and got the easy end of that deal. I also talked my mom into going and somehow she ended up getting all the crap while I stayed up playing WSOP poker with some of the other adults. They taught me how to play and I caught on pretty quick. I even won quite a few hands. As with other games of skill, I started out clueless and ended up looking like a pro. They started to ask me if I was hustling them. Ha. Too bad there wasn’t actually money involved.

I had a lot of fun, so I wanted to recommend that anyone who goes camping brings along a deck of cards, too.
