Just thought of another thing to watch out for if you came from the UK....Poison Ivy and Poison Oak. A little education could save a lot of pain for you and the kids.

I got lucky because I dont react to it, but my wife had a shitfit once when we went for a walk, as i was wandering unknowingly through a big patch of the stuff. Could have been in agony if I was sensitive to it. Make sure you know what it looks like, and how to deal with it if you get it on you.
