Day 5: Kayaking and Crawling

By the fourth and final day in Mansfield, Alice was really breaking down.  She still had a bad fever, and she hadn't been eating well for several days so she was starting to look like a child that needed sponsored for a dollar a day.


She was still able to muster enough strength for one more kayak ride...


...and some feather gathering.


Simon, however, was the epitome of health and happiness.  His only downfall was that he couldn't walk yet but desperately wanted to get out and explore on his own.  Our yard is a minefield of goose poop though, so we resisted his squirming as long as we could.  On this last day though, I finally gave in and set him down.  He had a blast crawling around in the grass, and up and down our hill.
