Sand Castle
Scott and I were talking tonight about the kids at the beach, and he mentioned how Bronwen is a sand castle building machine. He relayed to me that he has never seen a kid so content building and watering sand.
As I kissed Bronwen goodnight, I told her that Unle Scott was so impressed with her sand castles, and how they were the best sand castles he had ever seen.
Her response?
"Uncle Scott, you're a genius!"
Takes one to know one, I guess.

Sisters and Games
T.J. went golfing with the guys today, and the girls took the kids to town for some shopping, so while we were invited to town, Bronwen wanted to go to the pool, so away we went. Lila was a little upset from the get go because she wanted to bring her Cheerios into the pool, and I wouldn't let her.
She was happy once we were in the pool, and Bronwen busied herself playing on the steps with a tiny sand scoop, scooping water out of the pool.
As the morning progressed, Bronwen started sitting on the side of the pool, kicking her feet. I handed her the dive sticks we brought, and Bronwen decided it would be fun to throw them into the pool and let me fetch them for her. I was holding Lila, and picking up the sticks with my foot, handing them to Lila, walking over to Bronwen, and Lila would hand the sticks over to her. Bronwen said every time, "Thank you Lila," and then she would throw them back in. We must have done this routine 50 times. It was awesome. The girls were having such a good time.

Beach Vacation
So far our vacation has been a success--Bronwen has been busying herself playing in the sand, building castles and entertaining babies in the baby pool. She doesn't seem to want to venture into the ocean unless she is collecting seawater for one of her building projects. Lila, meanwhile, doesn't seem overly thrilled with the sand, although she is warming up to it. Today was the first day she just sat with sand toys and dug and played.
Bronwen is also enjoying the company of her cousins, even learning how to play both Go Fish and Dominoes. I will try to update more soon!

More of the Chef
If you think the video has a dreamlike quality, it's not your eyes. Apparently someone's teeny tiny fingers smudged the lens without my knowing it. I am sure Lila feels terrible about this.
The lens has since been cleaned.
