Right at the end of the tour, as we were walking to get off the boat, Kimee dropped her glasses in the water. She says a bug landed on her face and she shook her head to get it off. She kept shaking her head, and her glasses fell right into the water. She was so sad, she cried as if she was really hurt.
This is where Kimee's glasses were lost.
Down by the docks, we walked around to some of the shops and also watched and listened to the California Sea Lions bark.
After the tour, we stopped for lunch at the Pig'N Pancake in Newport. We loved it! We want to add that to our "must see" list next time we go to Oregon.
When we were in Newport, we stopped at a seafood market and picked up some fresh crab. Dave was excited to eat it for dinner with the Claunches. The girls and I had something else for dinner; we were going to just have a taste of crab. When they were asking Audrey if she wanted to try some crab, Jon told her it would make her grow big and strong. She took it very literally. She actually still talks about it now, over a month later. When I say she is a big girl, she says she is bigger because she ate crab.
Well, Dave fed Maddi a small bite of crab. Audrey started sobbing. We couldn't figure out what was the matter. It was so sweet and almost brought me to tears when she could finally get the words out.
It was something like this, in between sobs...
"I don't want Maddi to eat crab. I don't want her to grow big and strong. I want her to stay a baby. She's my baby."
Audrey, I completely understand how you feel!
