Boy's Day out with Dad

Today, for the sake of not having an all out civil war we decided it was best to separate Zach and Seth for a while. Because Vonnie doesn't have a car, and wouldn't want to drive on the island if she did, this meant that Dad got to take each of them out to the beach by himself...Seth got Sandals (where the rich people go) and Zach got Jolly Harbor (where the not so rich, but still well off people go).

Seth got first shift to baby sit dad, so he put on his backpack and we headed off...


Seth posing next to the "limbo" poles as Vonnie called them. I think they were actually just little "Altars" for newlyweds or the filthy rich to stand beside. So I put my little guy beside it ant took a picture. By this time, he was almost to the end of his rope and asking me if we could go home...he had only tried to drown himself a couple of times...it is amazing how few "sand man jails" we build now that the boys really like the water.

Seth saw a "Pirate" ship and wanted to make sure I pointed it out. I actually just took this picture in case anyone needed to know how many divers were on the boat. About 4 months ago the Sandals dive boat went out with 2 more divers than they came back with...they eventually found both other divers, one was 6 miles from the island hanging onto a buoy in a shipping lane. Eerily similar to that one movie...only this one had a happy ending.

Zach got the afternoon shift to watch dad. And while we really enjoy Jolly Harbor, we really only chose it because it is the closest beach to a supermarket where we could pick up diapers for Seth and Zach at the Bargain price of $24 for 26 diapers. This was only necessary because our airplane has been delayed by 1 1/2 days, and hopefully will come in then.

Dad hanging out with Zach after we had been in the water and before we went digging in the sand for almost an hour. As you might have noticed, it is hard to get a picture of him without him showing you his "guns". Jolly Beach has really become one of our favorites.

On our way out, we walked by this gazebo that was actually abuzz with a wedding going on. There were only about 10 people involved...it was very pretty, and I am sure they were having a nice "Christmas" wedding. May it last forever...
