Well, the camping excursion we had planned was not exactly what we thought it would be. Lovely as Sunset Park is on Cross Lake, it is mostly a summer vacation spot for people who pay a small amount year round to keep a lot there. These lots are all VERY close together and set up with RV's, and mobile homes with decks and flower gardens and whimsical signs and various doodads to make it look summery, vacationy and enjoyable. One thing's for sure: they enjoy it! Because all the sites are so close together and also because they have the tent sites right in the middle of all of them (it sort of felt like we were on display), we got to enjoy their partying until well after 1am. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm complaining, I don't judge or want to take away from anybody's good time, but for all the noise, Mira thought SHE was at their party too! So WE were up until about 1am, and up pretty early (you know how tent camping is!).
Anyway, between all that, all the rain and the fact that Mira sustained her first big injury Friday night as I was packing - we ended our camping excursion early.
Let me just stop right there: Yep, Mira has her first big injury. I'm not making a big deal of it because if she's anything like me, my brother or MOST of the kids in the world: it won't be her last. She apparently found some glass with her foot and took a nice little chunk right off the bottom of her big toe. It's not a big deal though it looks pretty gruesome, and since she's been walking for 6months now I was just waiting for SOMETHING to happen. Anyway, with the wetness outside, we didn't feel comfortable letting her traipse around with her bandaged foot getting it all wet. The thing with that is that it just wouldn't ever dry staying in the bandage like that and that's bad news. Also, she loves to be cuddled, but DOES NOT want to be HELD CONSTANTLY and also got real tired of the tent real quick. So after much screaming and protesting on Saturday, we decided we'd leave Sunday, head for the Zoo and come on home afterward.
Which is what we did.
And if you want to know more about it, you're gonna have to check in tomorrow...
