Later, Kendra finds that the biggest key unlocks a jewelry box full of costume jewelry, and the tiniest key unlocks an armoire inside the dollhouse. When Kendra and Seth flip over the mirror, the obsessed critters flip it back over again. When she leaves it out, hoards of butterflies, bumblebees, and hummingbirds flock over to it. Before he leaves, Grandpa Sorenson gives Kendra three keys so that they can, as Grandpa says: "See if you can figure out what each unlocks." Seth and Kendra go swimming the next day and Kendra brings out a mirror to shine light in Seth's eyes. Also, there is a pet chicken named Goldilocks. They visit their attic bedroom, and much to Kendra and Seth's delight, it is filled with many toys and activities to keep them busy.
