[MR] bringing a baby to pennsic

[Jerri Lyn Mooney]

Again, posted to the Tavern in case others are interested...

I second what Lord Siegfried has said, especially about lowered expectations
about what you will be able to do.

* In regards to the pool, may I suggest you dump your daily "cooler water"
into it instead of Pennsic water. The pool in our camp was ruined due to the
rust content. Unless you don't mind an orange baby.
* Also, we kept our son's coif doused in cool water to keep him very
overheating.
* Make sure you bring WARM jammies for the cool nights.
