The boys stayed up LATE last night…didn’t get to bed until around 11pm. Levi got up early from nap, so I took him to the pool while Dee, Carlos and Trey slept a little more. We had fun and he showed me all that he’s been learning in swimming lessons, and he loved jumping off the edge into the pool to me. He’s a big fan of bellyflopping, don’t know why. While we were in the water, we played a game of me throwing him up in the air and catching him as he splashed in the water, saying “I’ll throw you away” then splash! I remember my dad doing this with my dad and it was a nice time of reflection for me playing with my son in the pool the same way my dad and I used to play.

After naptime, we headed back out to Linda and Scott’s for dinner and to hang out some more. We got some more time to chat with her dad and Sandy and Linda and Scott before we had to head back and get the boys to bed. We had promised them that we would go swimming when we got home, so there we were at 9:30pm…heading down to the pool. Crazy. It was fun, although Levi scared us half to death by almost drowning himself. There is a ledge on one of the rounded corners of the pool where the boys can stand. Dee had the little ones and was playing around while I had swam to the opposite side of the pool and turned my head for a split second, but when I looked back, I could only see Levi’s eyes. Poor guy, I swam over as fast as possible and scooped him out of the water. After he’d coughed up a bunch of water and calmed down, he said that he had been trying to push off the side and swim across like he does in swim lessons. Don’t think he’ll be trying that again real soon. That was about it for us in the pool so we headed up, got jammies on and settled in to bed.

Today has been BUSY!!! Papa B, Sandy, Linda, Scott and the girls came out to Shores to join us for breakfast, then we went to “Jolly Rogers” (a pirate store here in town) where we got the boys eye patches. They are big into pirates right now, not sure why.

Then we took off to the Jetty where we walked around on the rocks, Scott brought up a couple of starfish and the boys got to touch them. We walked down past the Jetty to the beach/ocean and the boys couldn’t wait to get in. They kept walking out almost to the water, then when it would come back in they would screech and run back in. Eventually they just stood there and got wet. They loved it.

We took them for ice cream and a ride on the slick track (a go kart track that is smooth, with no tread go karts and a wet, soapy track…basically it is just like it sounds, slick.) There were double go karts so the kids got to ride, too! LOVED IT!

Off to have seafood dinner at Linda and Scott’s…blog ya later.
