When last we left off, we were sitting at the Petawawa Library. After that, we drove to Bonnechere Provincial Park. Here the staff were glad to meet us, and the show was a rousing success. Some of the children were especially keen to see the show, and even managed to figure out where we are camping!
We have spent the last two nights entertaining families at our campsite. I guess one could say that the Reptiles at Risk crew never stops in our mission of Reptile Education. During the day we had to stop our campsite entertaining so we could go visit some libraries for our scheduled shows.
In Golden Lake, we visited our first First Nations community of the year. The Golden Lake Algonquins were excited to have us, even though we were a couple minutes late. From there we moved on to Eganville, a nice little town where the librarians gave us ice cream! Since it was our last full day on the road, we had a pizza party while in Eganville.
We called Jeff to ask about days off, but we were in for a surprise. The road trip was being extended by a weekend! Luckily, we were able to accomodate everyone's wishes for days off. Katrina is really excited to have the long weekend off so she can experience the events at her cottage on Lake Couchiching. She is still heading home tonight, and relieved, since she has been counting the days down until she can go home.
Adam and Amanda are sticking around for an extra couple days for shows in Tweed, at the Tweed Stampede. Then Adam is going to his cottage on Lake Kashwakamak and Amanda is going to visit some friends in Picton. We are all looking forward to our time off, but have started counting down the days until we leave again... Friday Morning.
