That is SO cool that you contributed to the book. I loved <I>The Daring Book</I> and have it waiting on the shelf for when the kids are older.<BR/><BR/>My humble entry:<BR/><BR/>One summer weekend my husband and I tried to backpack into our local hills in order to get away from the city and noise and people, etc. Only we ended up being followed in by a group of annoying Boy Scouts who, let's just say, did not share our appreciation for the quiet solitude of nature.<BR/><BR/>All of which was bad enough. But one morning I trekked off to dig my hole in the ground and do my business (it was a backpacking campground with no sort of facilities). I thought I had found a good spot, with lots of shrubbery that hid me from the campsites. Until, after I had bared my ass to the breeze, I realized I was in full view of two of the Boy Scouts who had, for whatever dumbass reason, wandered off from their group and taken up residence in the bushes.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737780263679929983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133819134801574505.post-62552022199361596292009-04-10T20:45:00.000-04:002009-04-10T20:45:00.000-04:00Peeing in the woods sometimes does require a fun...Peeing in the woods sometimes<BR/> does require a funnel.<BR/>But if you don’t use it right,<BR/> you might end up in a puddle.<BR/>The worst kind of puddle is one that stays with you<BR/> And can’t be sopped up with a towel or a tissue,<BR/>I speak from experience; it’s a pickle I’ve been in:<BR/> You will know me in some crowds as “Pee the Pants Kim.”Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515747614705843633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133819134801574505.post-49600175161058255872009-04-10T14:28:00.000-04:002009-04-10T14:28:00.000-04:00I can't think of anything specific, but we have ha...I can't think of anything specific, but we have had many adventures in the outdoors over the years - before and after kids. Of course since there was the mention of peeing that is what comes to mind - being very pregnant and using a kiddy potty in the vanagon camper, or Nathan's technique with the girls. Let's just say I wish I had an adult that could pick me up so pee didn't run down my legs. My girls really love the Daring Book for Girls, they each have their own copy, and I am sure they will be begging for the new one before we head off to Maine this summer.lisa hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640077663652818538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133819134801574505.post-15608598668558017232009-04-08T10:47:00.000-04:002009-04-08T10:47:00.000-04:00Peeing?
