i'm sparkley red
my toes now sport a coating of bright, sparkley red. it was a great trip, nice, relaxing.
on thursday i had victoria all day. i'm never quite sure what she can handle. i've since discovered that it's certainly not too much spare time. spare time typically turns into "i'll make a mess of everything," time. so we kept busy. she's old enough now where i could tell her in the beginning all the different errands that we had to do. as we arrived at our second stop, she said "here we are!"
every time we'd climb back into the car, she's say "ready or not, here we come!" and off we'd go again. she was perfect. she stayed with a friend when i had to haul things back to my car, stayed with me when things were hectic in the parking lots. and she got to play in the rv, do a little shopping and watch her favorite, spongebob, at night.
today i was up and out fairly early. i got the stickers for the offroad bikes. just another way to tax something i think. and then i meandered. i checked out a couple of places i hadn't been before, checked out a couple i don't need to go to again, and found a new-to-me rv center. they gave me a catalog upon learning that w and i are new to rv-ing.
and the whole rv thing has been a trip. we go from super frustrated to laughing about it all. there are so many things that are specific to rvs. all things are made to fit a doll house. shrunken versions of everyday things with an emphasis on folding. i bought a broom that folds up so small it can fit in your pocket. i just walked the store to see if there was anything i couldn't live without, or something that would increase my comfort. heh, there will always be something, won't there?
we're headed out again this weekend. this time we will be armed with heat (which we probably won't need), good hiking shoes for the kids, toothbrushes, riding gear, hot water, water that drains. next week, when it's not so critical, i will get the toilet back in tip top working order. right now we can make it work. and i must say, it is infinitely easier to camp with a toilet than without. christopher rides his dirtbike for hours and victoria plays with everything in the rv. i'll try to lure her out and do some hiking this time.
