Extra 26: Us and Them Part 2

The next day, everything was ready for a week-long beach trip free of work, as it coincided with the companies' vacation time since the grandparents would handle everything important. All the big tasks were already done. "Kids, come down for breakfast," Deborah called out, and soon everyone came down wearing their beach

outfits.

"Look, Mommy, it's the dress Ellie made for me," Nicole said, twirling around to show off her beautiful sunflower-patterned dress.

"Wow... you look so pretty, and you even have matching ribbons," Deborah said, noticing that the dress and her little girl's hair accessories were made from the same fabric.

"I used the leftover scraps to make them, and I also made a hairband," Elizabeth said, helping her little sister with her hairstyle.

"My little princess looks gorgeous like this," Jayden said, picking up the little brunette.

"And our first princess is so talented," Deborah said, hugging Elizabeth.

"So much love, so early in the day," Eric commented as he entered the dining room and saw the family gathering.

"Grandpa!" The twins ran to hug him.

"Aww... we're going to miss you so much this week," Samantha said, joining the hug.

The pets also came into the living room, with Felix carrying a suitcase in his mouth, which held all his and, Chip's toys.

"Even you two are ready for the beach," Eric said, amused.

"They'll probably spend most of the time napping," Jayden said, petting the small feline.

"I think Felix will be playing on the beach," Elizabeth said, stroking her friend.

"Well, come eat. You have a long journey ahead of your Eric ordered.

The whole family sat down at the table, where breakfast was filled with the twins' excited comments about all the activities they would do when they got to the beach.

After finishing breakfast and saying goodbye to the grandparents, everyone got into the van and headed for the beach.

It was a two-hour drive, and when they arrived, they were greeted by the housekeepers, who informed them that the pool had just been filled.

This news excited the kids, who were ready to jump into the water immediately, but Deborah ordered them to take their suitcases to their rooms before doing anything else. "Welcome, sir, ma'am! How was the trip?" asked a housekeeper.

"Everything went well. How have things been here? No issues with the rain?"

"Don't worry, sir. Only the wind knocked some palm leaves off the roof of the outdoor bar, but Jace and I fixed it as soon as the bad weather passed."

"That's good," Deborah commented.

"Yes, the last repairs and waterproofing were just what we needed to fix that leak.

"Perfect."

"By the way, you arrived at the right time because the harvest season just started," the housekeeper said, showing them a large bunch of freshly picked coconuts and bananas on the table. "Wow... that's a great harvest," Jayden said, impressed by the amount of fruit.

"The rain from a few months ago helped a lot. The oranges, mandarins, and grapefruits are also ripe. We're picking them now to make some snacks."

"We have fruit! Yummy," Nicole exclaimed, who had come back into the room with her parents.

"Can we help pick them?" Michael asked.

"Of course, Mr. Jace is picking lemons right now."

"Yay!" The twins ran off to help pick the fruits, enjoying these tasks because they were similar to their farm -care video games.

"Good morning," another person said as he entered the house, carrying several fish. "Here's the food."

"Wow... yummy! Are we having fried fish?" Elizabeth asked excitedly.

"That's right, miss. Fresh fish, straight from the sea, just for you."

"Perfect timing. I've been craving fish tacos, James joked while applying sunscreen to his arms.

"Tomorrow morning, we'll go out to catch some shrimp, and if we're lucky, maybe a crab or two."
