Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

Tuesday is always a busy day for Jacob – he doesn’t ever completely stop working so the kids have decided that Tuesday would be one of their main school days. It’s still vacation though so school doesn’t start before a quick dip in the pool. We can call it gym class.

After we finished off our studies Jacob headed out to the grocery store with a very long list and a time limit. He managed to overflow one cart worth before he ran out of time. The kids and I played in the pool, had lunch and sunbathed. We also fashioned a water pump out of a coke bottle, a ball needle and a leaf to make it water tight. That counts as science right?

Once Jacob got home we headed down for a couple of hours on the beach before supper. The kids had new buckets and shovels to try out so while they buried each other I went for a walk down the beach. At some point we are going to opt in to the all-inclusive package at one of the resorts so I took the opportunity to scope out the different options. The one with everyone on spring break probably isn’t for us. I’ll continue my research.

We got supper together and decided to eat outside. There’s always a nice breeze so it’s quite nice in the evenings. Plus eating outside seems so novel in February. As we were wrapping up eating jacob noticed the bats were coming out. Apparently our roof houses dozens of bats. I quickly decided to give up our table to let them eat in peace.
