The Last Bath

A couple weeks ago we went hiking with the Bonners. We were quite excited, as the place we chose (Cloudland Canyon) boasted not one, but TWO waterfalls. The leaves were beginning to change, it was a beautiful sunny day, Anya slept most of the two hour drive. However, we didn't put two and two together. No, not the waterfalls, but the GA drought and the possibility there would be no water to fall anywhere. Anya was shocked, as you can see in the third picture.



Because we really want to see these waterfalls someday, we have decided to conserve water. Anya will no longer take baths. As a result of that decision, we recorded her last bath on video. Contrary to how it appears, we do bathe her with a light on (we're not running out of electricity in GA). Anya must have known it was her last bath. She was kicking and crawling. (Warning: this is a fast-paced video, if you are subject to motion-sickness, watch at your own risk.)



Now, we will still wash her, but in the sink*.


*For those of you who may be concerned about Anya's welfare, we are just joking, she will continue to take baths as long as there is water to bathe in.
