When the kids are tucked away... The Daddies will play!

On our beach trip I was amazed at how as soon as the kids were all tucked in bed, the Daddies became kids themselves. I saw grown men, all of whom were either Duke grad or law students, and MD Residents turn into boys as they discussed what would happen if one of them jumped off the balcony of the beach house into the swimming pool below, and using water bottles and side tables to demonstrate it (this is ironic because the very next day I saw Sam scold Nicholas for wanting to throw something off the balcony). They played 500 in the pitch black ocean for an hour, and Merrill even pulled Cami into the pool while she was fully clothed-shoes and all! she was by the way a very good sport about it! Is it possible that boys never really do grow up?

I'm glad you had fun on your beach trip. We enjoyed our too. Our men were a little less crazy. They mostly played games with us women folk. But that was after we showed up. It is entirely possible that they played harder earlier in the week.

Your swim suit is cute!

We sure had a blast with you guys! I'll never forget Sam chucking that table off the balcony into the pool below! It was hilarious!
