Lake Edward opened on the first day of Summer, but the new shower facilities opened tonight with a little pomp and circumstance.
Because the location of the lake and water puddles change location every day you'll need to know that it's now four feet to the left and another foot foot to the north from where it was this morning.
Spilling the contents and moving the lake has become a ritual that many visitors have come to love and expect. Walking into a darkened room in the evening or under the early morning spell of sleep has been made more exciting with the possibility of slipping, falling or turning an ankle.
Tonight, the lake opened for night swimming with the unveiling of the new shower facilities. Lifeguard Ed tested the water temp by moving the shores of the lake.
With the water temp perfect for wading the Edster climbed onto this visitor's lap and began to whip his water logged tail into back and forth. With cold water drops deposited into Ed's and my eyes, this vacationer was showered and ready to have some fun!
With the shower ceremony complete, Ed promptly jumps off my lap, goes to the door mat and promptly throws up! The evening wrapped up with a barefoot wade thru the contents of Lake Edward to mop it up, refill it, clean up the pile o' puke up and get the bag out to the trash before any ants thought about invading the area.
While the shower ceremony was startling at first-the water was cold and bracing-the 'blowing chunks' presentation was probably a reminder about eating and swimming with no break in between.
As always, Safety First when Playing with the Edster!
Thank you for visiting and please come again!;)
