I have one more little bathroom adventure that I want to share from my memorable trip to King's Canyon last summer... perhaps not as funny as the previous two, but the story would not be complete without it. I hope these have not been too dull ;)

It was a few days after my last adventure, and I was finally relaxed about the whole flashlight incident and pretty confident that if the septic system hadn't exploded by now, I was probably safe. So I had gone back to using the bathroom nearby our campsite. After another night of fun around the campfire, the girls and I gathered our toiletries and headed to the bathroom for our nightly routine. Everything seemed normal as we were brushing teeth, washing faces, chatting, etc. But, unknown to us, there was an unwelcome visitor in our midst... Tabitha and I were each in the stalls on opposite sides of the small building, while Annelise and Edith were brushing there teeth at the sink which is situated in between, when all of a sudden there were screams of terror!! It was Edith, but we couldn't make out what she was trying to say! Within the span of no more than a minute, the following scenario played out similtaneously, each of us having no idea what was happening with the others until the retelling of the story later... Edith is yelling unintelligibly (I think it was in Spanish lol), Anna is screaming, Tab and I have no idea what's going on out there. Suddenly Tab, still in her stall, screams and tries to run out while pulling up her pants, catching toilet paper in the back of her pants which trails behind as she runs out the door. She ducks as she runs, because something is flying low overhead. I, in the other stall, start screaming just because everyone else is, though I cant' see anything yet! I yank my pants up and try to run out of the stall when something black whooshes by, barely missing my face as I duck and run outside, Annelise with me! All the while, Edith is dancing around the middle of the room pointing up and screaming, "It's a...! It's a...!" And as we all shove each other out the door, she takes a deep breath and finally yells... "Baaaattt!!!!!"
And that's the end of the "Bathroom Adventures" trilogy. Many more fun times were had in those 2 weeks in the mountains, but these few stories stand out as most memorable and unique ;) I am certainly looking forward to next year!
