The second day started out with a tropical downpour. We got caught in the middle of it when exploring the grounds, but beach vacation attire is pretty well suited for such occurrences.
Lukas doesn’t care what he wears when it rains, as long as he can splash around and catch raindrops on his tongue.
Back at the Villa we tried out the pool. It had been cloudy and rainy for a few days; so it was “count to three and jump in or you will never do it” cold (at least for anyone over five). Lukas quickly decided that he didn’t like using his swim vest or floaty, so thus began a week of me having to carry him around the pool. Katharine had no such issues.
We headed to the beach after lunch. Each Villa comes equipped with two golf carts, and they were an immediate hit with the kids. No seatbelts, no doors, no windows, woohoo! Luckily these things can’t break the 5 MPH barrier, even with Brian “crazy driver” Martel driving (as the kid’s affectionately named him).
The ocean was also cold and still very choppy from the weather system that had just passed through.
Of course, that just made it more fun for the kids.

Lukas, in the grand tradition of 2 year old Doescher children (starting with Katharine back in St. Lucia), immediately decided that he did not like to walk or play on sand and surf, so I had to hold him in the water.
The babies in a rare display of synchronized sleeping,,, at least I think the babies are under there.
After sulking on the lounge chair for a little bit, Lukas braved some nearby sand and managed to eke out a little bit of beach fun with Iria's help.
Aiden took some time out to hang with him, but quickly returned to the action along the shoreline with Katharine, Liam, Ava and the Murphys.
