This morning we woke to the alarm at 7:30 and headed to the mechanic. While waiting, I was able to “catch a wave” for a bit and get on-line. It began to pour and the kids faces went pale. Our goal was to come back and take a hike to the waterfall and now it was on post pone. I checked the weather and it said it was supposed to stop raining about 11 so we decided we’d go back to the campsite, eat, shower and then hike (assuming that the weather would clear up.)
I made some great spouted pasta for lunch. The kids never had that and really enjoyed it!
Next we showered. The next part is an important part of RV life so CAUTION: May gross you out….
Nick and I were going to attempt some “alone time” in the shower (which were NOT unisex shower units). He was being pink-panther-like sneaking into the woman’s room with me to shower. (May I clarify that there was one other RVer there besides us, so this was pretty funny in itself.) We began showering and low and behold two small girls came into the bathroom. Nick dried and dressed as quickly as possible and hopped up and the bench as to not show himself. He kept looking at me in such a frightened fashion as these two little girls chattered away while using the restroom. I leaned over and whispered in Nick’s ear, “Is this the most intense situation you’ve ever been in or what?” He looked at me with a sarcastic look and whispered back, “Yea smarty, where there are small children, there are their parents.” I let the water run while I dressed and Nick hid. The girls shushed a bit and I could actually here one of them grunting (kinda cute actually) and the girls washed their hands and left. I went out first and checked to make sure it was clear and told Nick it was safe to come out.
We headed to the RV in disappointment. We both knew life in an RV with kids and no privacy would be rough.
When we got to the RV, it dawned on me…two little girls….hmmmmm. “Grace…Hannah…did you happen to just be in the bathroom a few minutes ago,” I asked. “Yeah,” they replied in unison. Nick and I looked at eachother and grinned. Where there are small children…there are their parents. How funny is that….ahhh well!
The weather DID clear up and we headed out for our hike to see this 77’ waterfall. I will try to get pics up when I have a chance. It is something I am still tying to become more efficient at and not having much time when I AM on makes it difficult.
The waterfall was fabulous. Just awe jaw-dropping gorgeous! It reminds me of the falls I have seen in pics of Ecuador and makes me more excited about adventure.
The hike was just what we needed. The kids wanted to take another, but we needed to hit the road. The next destination is Groom, Texas. No one knows what is there but me and I CAN’T WAIT to see this site. Nick’s gonna love it…just love it.
We have been on the road for 4 hours so far. Nick is really being a trooper today. I will owe him a body massage. I have to believe he’ll be a bit tense. I can’t (or won’t) drive this thing as it’s just too scary. Maybe I will try it before the trip is over, but not today anyhow. It’s a VERY windy day and Nick is doing a fantastic job keeping us on the road. It’s scary enough for me when I feel a semi pass causing our RV to sway and today add on 30 mi/hr winds…oh joy.
Dinner is in the oven…cooking while we drive and the girls are doing their Sign homework (nice and quiet). I knew there was a reason I wanted to teach sign! (Grinning).
The water in the kitchen is finally running which mean the kitchen sink is fixed—this really made Nick smile. However….and yes…there is a however…at the gas station, while Nick was filling, he said he noticed leaking coming from the bathroom area. GROSS! Now what???? It’s almost becoming an expected thing. (Laughing out Loud).
Till next time…
Maranatha!
