Tuesday we woke up and played around at the house for a bit before taking off for the beach again. Danielle's mom, Pat, had bought the girls adorable matching pink polkadot shirts, unfortunately I didn't get a picture of them, but they are so cute.
Alex drew in the sand, made sandcastles and watched all the dogs running around.
I played with the rocks.
Heidi watched the waves, because we sort of parked her there and that was all she could watch.
After our standard 15 minutes at the beach before Alex froze, we went to Beacon Hill park and visited the petting zoo.
The best part was the goats. This goat kept sneezing, which terrified Alex, hence her clinging to Danielle with a tear dripping down her cheek.
At about the same time Alex broke out in tears from fear, Heidi was behind me being eaten by goats. This didn't go to well at first. I think the shock of 4 baby goats surrounding her at eye level and chewing on her toes, fingers, elbow and knee at the same time was a bit of sensory overload. This picture is from 20 minutes later when she had finally accepted this strange new world.
A few minutes later I turned around to see Heidi's stroller being pushed around the goat pen by 3 or 4 goats.
In fact, instead of feeding the ducks, Alex ended up feeding the peacocks. When this one walked away before eating all the cereal Alex had shared, she started picking them up off the ground and putting them back in the bag.
Here are the girls giving me phony smiles while I stand there begging for real ones. At least they were looking at the camera.
This was one of the few chances the entire week, that Heidi wasn't strapped into something and got to crawl around.
At home we ate dinner with Michel and Sara, Danielle's brother and sister in law, as well as her parents. Heidi actually cuddled with Michel which was amazing, she doesn't cuddle like that with anyone. The kids loved him, he is now referred to the baby whisperer. It was a fun end to a fun day.
