Thanks for the help. Unfortuntaly i only got the information right now, as on
friday my email addie was hijacked by a spammer, so I lost all my emails that
day.

And actually after all said and done, we came home with 2-4L of milk and only 1
dozen eggs. We had only 1 picky kid on this camp.

Either way, if you're drinking milk I think you're going to be shy with 2L.
