Shaun had been walking Buster this morning when, while rounding about the back end of the RV, he smacked his head into the extended slideout. I heard his cry & knew it was the kind you don't ignore. He was holding the front of his head (&, amazingly, also Buster's leash). When he pulled his hand away the blood was flowing, hard. Calling out to Kimi, who was washing up in the bathroom, I yelled for paper towels. It soon became clear that, despite the copious amount of blood, he was not going to need stitches (thank goodness). Using my supplies from the first aid kit, I was better able to clean the wound & stop the bleeding, all while we were standing outside in our pjs!
When we were at Legoland yesterday, we were able to purchase next-day tickets for just $8 per ticket more (a deal when you realize that for the 3 of us it cost $130, including 10% AAA discount, that first day!). We had to think about whether it made sense to go back. After laying down to rest, pluse drinking fluids & taking some Ibuprophin, Shaun decided that he did want to go back.
We choose to do things at a slower pace, & skipped any rides that moved around quickly. We had fun doing some of the things we missed the day before, & had a nice big nutritious lunch. It worked out fine, & Shaun was fine the rest of the day. We bought him some new Bionicle sets & Kimi got a couple of Star Wars sets - things to play with while on the road.
Then, on to Yuma, AZ. We traveled through the desert - 105 degrees! When we got to the campground, around 8pm, it was 97. It felt so weird walking around. It was a dry windless air, very quiet & still. Buster loved it, & walked for nearly a half an hour, sniffing only goodness knows what, tracking some critter trail all over the campground.
More desert tomorrow - hot, hot, hot!
