RV Adventure: Day 3

Intro: We are having some technical difficulties that started soon after my last post. Five minutes after last post, bloody nose. One hour after last post, old fashioned splinter removing. Morning after last post, bed broke. Afternoon after last post RV engine blew up. Get the picture? At least we were able to stay another day and night at Utah.

Day 3: As the intro said, five minutes after my last post I got a bloody nose. That was very annoying, as you can imagine a bloody nose in an RV that Dad doesn’t want to get dirty. After I got my nose cleaned up we all had to take showers, want to know why that is not welcome? Because we had to get ourselves wet, turn off the water, put soap all over body, hair, face, try to turn on water with soap covered eyes, then turn off water, get out and dry. That is why I will never enjoy RV showers like I do at home. Before I went to bed I asked my parents to get a splinter out of my finger, that went kind of good, and kind of bad. We didn’t have a needle or tweezers, so Dad suggested the hatchet under the RV. Mom then came to the rescue and walked over to the store in the gas station we were staying at. She came back with some tweezers… and one of the etch-knives. With a lot of pain and time, mostly pain, they got the splinter that was only about 1/100 inch long. After that long exhausting night I went to bed and slept good, very good. In the morning on Sunday, May 31, 2009 Dad started driving and took turns with Mom. The ride was more or less uneventful lunchtime when two things happened at once, Josh and Dan were playing tackle in the back and we heard a terrible snapping sound, turns out, they snapped the aluminum bed frame in half. Dad thought that we could repair it at Yellowstone, but we got some extra time when at a stoplight we heard a pop, then our RV started sounding like my Grandpa Steele’s old truck. The spark plug popped out and tore all the little wires with it. The man that helped us said that his Uncle Joe worked on engines of RVs. So Dad called him up and he said he would work on it on Monday morning. We found a RV park that sounded pretty cool. It was called RIVER SIDE RV PARK, it had a tennis court, horse shoe field, playground, dog walk, and a pool. We went to the pool and had a great time while Dad fixed the broken bed frame. It was fun to spend some time watching Enchanted on my laptop too. Well that was my day, then I went to bed and slept in a very warm bed, not just a ok type bed, a type of bed that makes you feel like you were in a cloud.
