Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

We made a home-schooling deal and decided we would work hard on Tuesdays and Fridays while Jacob also has to work and less on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This means we have the chance to go to the beach in the morning on Wednesdays.

We headed down around 10 this morning and finally figured out that we aren’t the only people using the beach club. It seems our 2pm start was way too late in the day. We got ourselves settled the kids started sand castling then one or the other took turns whining.

I managed to put up with the constant complaints for a couple of hours before we packed it in. Two hours at the beach is a pitiful performance from this crew. A few days of above average doses of vitamin D and exercise in the pool have left the kids exhausted. We headed back, grabbed a quick bite to eat before cooling off in the pool again.

The kids finally finished their schoolwork, with much prompting. As a reward, Charlie and Jacob went to scope out the resort that we are going to opt-in to for a couple of days. The girls and I used our pool loungers and floated around before they settled in in front of the TV. Charlie returned to give his report (two thumbs up) and then got his butt kicked in our swimming races.
