I’m amazed at how bossy my daughter can be with her friends!

We arrived in good time and set up our place on the beach and I collected everyone’s overclothes, tees and shorts and Chiara went about making sure everyone had the right amount of sunscreen on, going so far as to help us all get some cover on our backs and shoulders. She even did my back. Just as I waited for her to come to me for her back Angelo began doing it for her, even making sure it was under her bikini bra straps too.

We have water here and there’s extra water and some things for lunch in the car coolbox. This has been going the whole way in the car connected to the cooling so it should remain cool until we have lunch.

The three of them have been in the sea briefly and now they are lounging on deck loungers on the beach here.
