The other evening the girls and I went on a walk. They had been playing hard in the ocean again that day so we took the stroller for when they needed to ride. Leah also wanted to take her favorite baby! She and Kate decided to buckle the baby in and let her ride for a while. They both held on to the sides of the stroller and pushed their baby into town! We went to the little gas station and got a treat, then they were ready to ride for a bit. We walked up to the school and watched the kids practice their music for a bit and started back toward home. The evenings here are so wonderful. Everyone comes out of their houses and the narrow streets are filled with people! Leah and Kate were ready to walk again, hopped out of the stroller and buckled baby in. As they were getting her situated Dave came by on the golf cart. They were so excited(they both LOVE riding on the golf cart) and hoped right in. The street was busy and traffic was waiting for them to jump in. I told Dave I would rather walk and continued on my way. Everyone is so friendly here, they wave, they say hi and ask how you are. But this night they seemed a little overly friendly, walking right up to me. I took a while for me to realize that I was pushing the stroller like this....
complete with a small "native" baby doll. I could have cried! They must have been thinking, "That poor girl!" Now keep in mind how small this Island is...VERY SMALL. I am sure everyone knows who I am now and will be glad to hear I am off the Island tomorrow!
