Ano Nuevo

Today we headed south along Route One to the state park of Ano Nuevo. It was a gorgeous day if some what blustery and this seemed to bother Eoin so we had to find ways of distracting him and getting him to walk the mile and a half to the elephant seals.

Distraction number one were bugs and lizards and hunting for them. Then we found a pine cone which he threw and kicked for a while but the best distraction was following 'the string' to find the treasure at the end of the trail.















About a mile in Eoin had a meltdown and refused to walk any further which we thought was ok seeing as he had done nearly a mile but he also refused to go in the backpack or on Daddy's shoulders and only wanted to be carried by Mommy. Normally I'd have given in but I'm sporting a rather fetching cast on my right arm at the moment so carrying him wasn't really going to work.

















In the end we carried him between us back to the car having only caught a glimpse of the elephant seals. Eoin promptly feel asleep for a second nap in the car (very unlike him) and was a much happier boy once we got home. Maybe his leg was still a little tender from his shots or maybe this was a little glimpse into the terrible two's and just wanting things done his way!
