The boy from Atlantis

This is what a boy does after school when he lives in the West Indies.....he goes to the beach! It is a great incentive to get him to do his homework (no homework = no beach) and now that the clock's changed (we went onto daylight saving on Sunday, so currently we are 4 hours behind the UK) it means we get a good 2 hours of beach time at about 4.30 when the sun is still deliciously warm but the heat has gone out of it (it got to about 29 c today at lunchtime, much lower than that by 4.30). Osh is now swimming - not great distances but swimming none the less - and is copying his big (step) brother and diving into the water in his mask and snorkel. I'm looking forward to snorkeling in deeper water with him before too long - right now he's too scared to go out of his depth! We bumped into Camilla and Beth Sulak on the beach and Camilla and I had great fun building a monster sand fort for Osh - he stood on the sidelines and directed operations whilst Camilla and I did all the work!
