day 2 with Kimi & Yuka and kids

In the afternoon, we went to a local farmer's market, all piling into Kimi's mini-van. That's 4 kids and 3 adults. Her mini-van has an automatic door so when we were all buckled in, Kimi just pushed a button and voila! Door closed. Now that I have to carry so much stuff with Tesla, I sure want an automatic door too!

They have a creperie at the farmer's market, Brittany style. I spent my junior year abroad in Brittany, France and miss their famous galettes and crepes. Even though it was close to dinner time, we couldn't help but all getting crepes. Then Kimi's youngest son fell asleep, so I held Tesla in my arms, Yuka lugged the car seat (that attaches to a stroller), and Kimi put him in Tesla's stroller. I rather liked heading to the car...us three women with a gaggle of kids and a baby. It makes such a different to be with kids and several adults, not one adult handling all. Team work is fun!

However, on the way home, Tesla had a crying fit. If I were alone, I'd stop the car and feed her, but with 3 other kids, it just wasn't possible. Oh, how it broke my heart to sit there helplessly watching her cry her lungs out. We weren't too far from home, but still. She could see my face, and must have been wondering why I wasn't helping her...I'm going to make it up today with extra cuddles : )
