West Hawk Lake was having some construction done on their
roads so driving the trailer in there was a little nerve wracking. Luckily as
part of our deal, I’ve mandated that I will never drive the truck with the
trailer attached so there is no expectation that I will ever be required to do
that –whew-. When we pulled up to the
campground, Rosy was itching to go play on the playground and Charlotte was
starting to sound the alarm so us girls left the men to park and level the
trailer while we stretched our legs. Rosy and Grandma played at the park while
I fed Charlotte on the bench and then we went back to the trailer for some
supper of super yummy butter chicken. Papa decided to get some more kilometres
in so took off for a couple hours before it got dark.
Getting Rosalin to bed is quite the chore with her napping
most days, sometimes twice and no real bed or bedtime. With us changing time
zones a few times and her bed being a folded down kitchen table it is a little
tricky. Usually we put her to bed in the parents little bedroom and then once
they’re ready to go down, we make up her bed and carry her out to the kitchen.
The next morning the parents took off riding their bikes and
Spencer and I decided to shower the family up. The shower took quarters up to
toonies for 45 seconds to 6 minutes respectively. I took a dollar seventy five
and Rosalin to the shower house and tried to get a game plan together for how
to shower the cheapest. I got out our shampoo and got us all ready and put in
the 25 cents for our first 45 seconds of water. After dousing ourselves as
quickly as we could the water clicked off and we shampooed and soaped up
without the water running. The shower was a family shower so was quite big and
once I put in our next dollar, Rosalin was running in and out of the water
stream while I was trying to rinse us all off before our three minutes ran out.
I got both of us rinsed, my hair conditioned, and rinsed out before the time
cut off. So, in three minutes and 45 seconds I showered myself and Rosalin and
it only cost me a buck and a quarter! While we were getting dressed we heard an
emergency vehicle siren blaring and it wounded quite close, we finished getting
dressed and went back to the trailer and Spencer said that it was a boat that
loaded in to the lake lightning fast and zoomed off, makes me wonder what was
going on, kinda interesting.
That morning we packed up the trailer with no particular
rush before heading off towards Kenora.
