At the beach w the kids for the weekend.

They all woke up by 7am...

Then it was a parade of kids in and out of the room for the next 3 hours as they trashed the condo w chips, honey bun wrappers and Capri suns. Now at the pool.

Nothing like traveling to the coast to skip the beach and hit the pool

You probably order fish at a steakhouse too.

Never, I’m a steak man.

I do love seafood as well but not at a steakhouse. And they wanted to go to the pool first, which is a lot easier to watch 4 kids with 2 of them 6 years old. At the beach it’s str8 lifeguard duty the whole time.

flatbottom jonboat. I paddled most of those years and swapped kids in and out to give everyone an even time on the water. I took the oldest and the youngest together and so on...

We paid our dues, it's our turn.


Jun 30, 2019, 9:21 PM [ in reply to Enjoy! I am at the beach with no kids ]

Why do I not pity them?

Keeping them safe and civil will prevent you having fun.


Jun 30, 2019, 9:20 PM

The trick, if you can call it that, is to keep them occupied doing something everyone enjoys. I've found kids don't torture each other or daddy when they are busy having fun.

My simplest way to deal with them was a game I learned as a young child. One player throws the ball up, hits it with a bat while the other players try to catch the ball in the air. If they catch a fly they get to be the hitter.

If they catch a grounder or run the ball down they can roll the ball and try to hit a the bat laying at the feet of the hitter. If they hit the bat they become the hitter. If the ball jumps off the bat and the hitter catches it before it hit the ground the hitter remains the hitter.

Any ball caught on first bounce rewards the fielder half the distance to the bat.

It cost me the price of 6 good leather gloves, one bat and one ball and one trip to the back yard to get all my children on board. That was our sandlot game which lasted for years.
