\"\"<\/a>My older son was exuberant over a day off of school this week. (Actually, that may have been his mother I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m remembering.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My younger son spent a significant portion of one afternoon waiting for breaks in the waves so he could practice his swimming strokes. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure how much actual practice he managed, but he certainly demonstrated his tenacity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>My daughter took up boogie boarding. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s playing with the big boys now. (There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be more on that later.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Finally, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s early evening on the beach. The small people don their pajamas while I slip cookies in the oven and LCB uncorks the Cotes du Rhone.<\/p>\n

In times like these, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s good to be an island mom<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
