After our corn and trumpeting adventures, we had a good long nap and then it was off for a SWIM with Dickiedoo and Noonie! As the weather was steamy and HOT, we were all excited for a dip! Since Dickiedoo is aware that C&G shiver in the pool even on the warmest of days, he had turned the heater on for us.....and then forgot to turn it off. So, the pool was 91 degrees for us. And it was AWESOME. Really, it felt SO good. And Gillian swam for an HOUR with no shivers. Now at least we KNOW how warm she likes the water!

Off she goes again....
We had a fantastic dinner with Dickiedoo and Noonie. And lots of giggles. And Polly Pockets. Those are fun. Very nice evening!
Day 2 saw C & G return to the beach for more fun in the sun. However, before heading down to the water's edge, Colin took a moment to read "Peek-a-Who" (his favorite book... to eat) with his Mom. On the beach, Gillian helped Grandpa Uhl dig some holes in the sand. As stated previously, she loves the beach. Helping: Action! Colin still wasn't convinced that the Ocean was a good thing. He prefers his water stationary. He did go to check it out with Grammy Uhl: Sitting beyond the reach of the water turned out to be more pleasing. Gillian, however, knows no fear when it comes to the ocean. When the water recedes, she wants to walk further into the surf. Here she is checking out the water with Grandpa Uhl: After a nice lunch and nap back at the house, the kids were ready to go again. But, since we had taken baths after our morning trip to the beach, C & G went to the pool instead. You may remember from Day 1 that Grandma Volpe had brought along a small inflatable pool. Well, this pool has now been set-up on the deck of the beach house for afternoon use by the boy and the Bean. It was perhaps an even bigger hit at the house than it was at the beach:
And here's more pictures to prove it: It was so much fun that it required a snoot!
