A Day At The Beach

Today we all played hooky and had A quintessential Day At The Beach. Complete with stop for ice cream on the way home (K & O still choose milkshakes over ice cream in a cone or cup... am I the only one who thinks that a bit strange for two three year olds???). Anyway, it was a really wonderful summer family day. Not a cloud in the sky. And great fun was had by all. Owen was basically on Cloud 9 from the second he stepped foot on the sand. He owned the beach. Kyle, however, had fits and starts of enthusiasm the entire day. He informed us over and over again that he likes "Virgin Gorda beach better" and that "Virgin Gorda beach is his favorite -- not Jersey Shore Beach" and he was totally obsessed with the lifeguards and made it known that he "does not like lifeguards." I totally get the Virgin Gorda part. But the lifeguards part?? Anyway, for as much as he made clear his strong preference for "Virgin Gorda beach" he spent plenty of the day enjoying the "Jersey Shore Beach" for what it's worth. Today was a splendid, splendid day and we're all going to bed feeling sun-drenched and family-bonded.

P.S. As much I have a hard time understanding how anyone can't tell them apart... over the past few weeks several people have emailed me asking me to identify who is who in the blog photos because they can't always seem to tell the difference between K & O. So, I'm going to start noting it sometimes. In these photos from today-- Kyle is in the blue/white swimsuit and Owen is in the brown/white swimsuit. In the photo with Braydon, it is Kyle. In the photo with the milkshakes Kyle is in yellow shirt and Owen in orange shirt.
