Rock Climbing with Seal and Heidi Klum

On Sunday we went to a beautiful spot in Malibu where the rock jets up right next to the gorgeous ocean, almost on a secluded end of the beach. It was so pretty. Two of our best friends, Linus and Tiffany also came and we were all hanging out on the beach waiting to climb when up toddled the cutest little boy. He stopped to look at us and I was waving at him and laughing b/c he was so darn cute all bundled up on top but with no pants on (I guess so he could play in the water) his dad was right behind him and said Hi to us and we said Hi back and then he walked over to meet his family. That's when Benjy looked at me and said, "Erin, that's Seal!" (If you don't know him he's a singer and he sings that song "I've been kissed by a rose on the grave" Then I really looked and saw that distinctive face and then looked to see if the girl w/ him was Heidi Klum. I didn't think it was b/c although she was tall and skinny, she had short blonde hair and a hat and glasses but she wasn't as tall as I thought she looked on TV or in pictures, so I thought maybe it was her sister or something. We were two of the few families on the beach so there were several times when Gavin went over to their boys to see what they were up to. Before I knew it was her for sure (there was a little entourage w/ them) I asked her how old her little one was. She said he was 15 months, I told her Gavin just turned a year and she commented on what a great walker he was for being so young. Then I knew it was her by the accent. Later Tiffany and I were taking pictures of Linus as he sport climbed the rock to set up our top rope and we were standing next to Seal as he took pictures of Linus too, he turned and asked us how we were doing etc. He basically took pictures the whole time as each of us climbed and we overheard him explaining to Heidi about how Linus was setting up the rope. We were all tempted to ask him if he wanted to try it but we were trying really hard not to be annoying b/c obviously they felt comfortable to stay there since no one was harassing them.

At the end of the day the older boy came over to play with our tractor and Tiffany was talking to him and playing with him. Seal came up and was trying to get Henry to come with him since it was time for them to leave. He joked with us about how he never listens. Then he told us to have a nice day and that was it! It was really cool!

Anyway, aside from that we had a really fun day. It was very windy but sunny and gorgeous! Tiffany and I made it to the top. It was her first time and she did awesome! I had to fight with my mind a few times since I hadn't done it since before I got pregnant and I was nervous to fall. I gained strength from a few things, one was looking down and seeing Gavin smiling up at me and pointing and mouthing the word "Up, Up". Another motivation was looking down and seeing Seal taking pictures of me. I thought, "Shoot I don't want to fall!"

So, enjoy the pictures. It was so fun. Gavin was so good for having slept only 45 min in the car. He just loves days like that and is such a trooper b/c he enjoys the activity and the great outdoors! Sorry, no pics of Seal and Heidi Klum, as I said we didn't want to be annoying. The coolest thing was that we were just hanging out doing our thing as if they weren't superstars! Luckily for me it was a cold day so Heidi was all bundled up and not in her bikinni since she is a Victoria's Secret Supermodel!
