Today, Pop, AJ & I went to this great little pumpkin patch near the house and had a great tine. They had all kinds of animals for AJ to see and he was able to feed some of them as well. There were goats, pigs, chickens, sheep, miniature horses, a cow and ducks. AJ was even brave enough to feed some of the goats. I was a little scared to get too close.
After the pumpkin patch we decided to take a walk on the Avila Pier near the house. It was BEAUTIFUL! The weather could not have been better. It was clear, warm, but with a nice breeze and the water was so blue. AJ enjoyed watching all the birds and walked along the pier having a great time.
About half way down the pier there are ton sea lions that hang out on this barge in the ocean. We listened to them bark, watched them play and fight and just create a scene. Of course, AJ enjoyed this. At one point, we were watching them and their were a bunch of sea lions on the landing below us and wouldn't you know it, AJ's shoe fell off and landed on the stairs below..... I was so bummed! These were not just any shoes! They were AJ's Crocs that Pop & Grammy Cory gave him before he was born! We could see his shoe, but weren't so sure we could get it back. There was a sign posted saying that the sea lions BITE. I thought for sure one shoe was lost forever. And then.....POP TO THE RESCUE!!!
Pop went into the fish market on the pier to ask them if they had any ideas on how we could get this shoe back. They told him that if he's loud and yells and stomps his feet while he goes down the stairs, the sea lions should jump off the landing and into the water and he should be able to go down and get the shoe back. I wasn't so sure about this. Have you SEEN the size of a sea lion??? These guys were 500 pounds PLUS! I kept telling my dad that it just wasn't worth it. But he was determined!
And he DID IT! No problems at all. Thank goodness Pop is SOO BRAVE!!
