IT'S A BEACH PARTY
Jill finally gets her day at the beach with her boys.
Did she pack far too much food? Possibly, but the cooler and basket(s) fill up some of the space on the massive blanket set out on the sand, an umbrella shading a corner of it. Someone will eat it at some point. She opted to forego the alcohol (no beer cans), but there's sparkling lemonades and apple cider and plain ol' water. Torgal even has his own bowls filled with water and some easily transportable mushy meat stuff. It's downwind, don't worry!
And it's hot. The sand stings before the flesh can adjust to being slightly cooked, like being on many tiny coals. Jill's been slathering sunscreen on herself and whoever dares look a little rosy. It's important. She's not tolerating any burns.
Today is going to be fun, peaceful, and without incident.
Pushing anyone into the waves doesn't count.

"You won't be sitting the entire time we're out here," she says simply. He might see Dion and Clive out in the sun and decide to join. Or Torgal might coax him into a game of fetch.
"I'll be quick. I promise."
But no less thorough.
