Lucy's walking with Jesse when she spots her girlfriend on down the pier. There's a guy with a clipboard trying to talk her into something. Doing his best to be persuasive. Wide smile, laughing a little. Ignoring Jesse and how he's not even bothering to hide his teasing smile, she quickens her step slightly. The clipboard is blocking the ad for whatever he's selling on his tee shirt and she can't read his hat from this far away. A minute later, she sees it.
Shark Tours
Nope.
Getting closer, she hears Kate's response.
"My girlfriend really doesn't like me around sharks. But to be honest, if I saw one without her, I'm still heading the other way. The last place I want to be is in a cage with them swimming around." Kate gives him one of her charming smiles and that probably lessens the sting of a no. Both for being a customer or a potential date.
Then Kate waves them over.
"Hey! This guy talked to the Stewart family two days ago." The guy nods.
"The kids boys really wanted to see sharks, but you have to be over eighteen for our tour. I told them about the Sea Life park was probably their best bet." Jesse nods and they head back to the car. They're slowly figuring out the family's day out.
Lucy nudges Kate with her arm.
"You're not tempted to go down in a shark cage?" Kate shakes her head.
"I think a shark's determination to get to a fresh meal will last longer than the metal bars. Honestly, being in a shark cage just reminds me of crab traps and we all know what happens to the crabs."
Lucy grins and holds Kate's hand all the way back to the car.
She knows what comes to mind when she pictures a shark cage though.

C's Recap - Donnie Murphy to Lay Down Law as #VanCanadians manager in 2021, Canellas Also Returning + BC's Lavallee Named Skipper of GCL #BlueJays. Plus C-Notes including why @CanadianClubby is The Man! #MontysMounties
The Toronto Blue Jays have named former major league outfielder Donnie Murphy as the manager of the Vancouver Canadians for 2021. TSN’s Scott Mitchell was the first to tweet out the Jays minor league appointments. Also, North Delta, BC’s Brent Lavallee—who was supposed to manage the C’s in 2020 before the coronavirus cancelled minor league baseball’s entire season—will be in charge of the troops…

Brooklyn Elise Paine / Erin Elise (Bates) Paine
Zoey Joy Webster / Alyssa Joy (Bates) Webster
Robert Ellis (“Kade”) Smith IV / Robert Ellis (“Bobby”) Smith III
Also, Allie Jane Webster is arguably named after her mother, Alyssa Joy (Bates) Webster, though it’s unclear if that was Alyssa + John’s intent in naming her.

We often talk about couples who have children back to back, like Nurie&Nathan Keller, Kendra&Joseph Duggar or Tori&Bobby Smith, all lacking at the moment but let's take a look at all the spacings between all the children the Duggars, Bates and Rodrigues had
Smallest spacings
Nurie and Timothy Rodrigues (331 days)
Kaylee and Renee Rodrigues (348 days)
Jordyn and Josie Duggar (357 days)
Truett and Nora Duggar (387 days)
Zach and Michaella Bates (389 days)
Jinger and Joseph Duggar (395 days)
Lawson and Nathan Bates (398 days)
Renee and Phillip Rodrigues (399 days)
Nehemiah and Newman Keller (401 days)
Charlotte and Cambree Smith (404 days)
So let's ditch Joseph&Kendra, Jed&Katey are the new Duggar couple who produce fast. And I'm still inpressed by Jill Rodrigues her uterus before she turned 30.
Biggest spacings
Samuel and Frederick Dillard (1825 days)
Susanna and Nathan Keller (1425 days)
Kaci and Khloe Bates (1235 days)
Tessie and Olivia Rodrigues (1191 days)
Kailyn and Evan Stewart (1135 days)
Zoey and Maci Webster (1049 days)
Hazel and baby Balka (1044 days, calculated)
Sofia and Janessa Rodrigues (1001 days)
Evelyn and Gunner Forsyth (999 days)
Cara and Brandon Keilen (988 days)
Jill Rodrigues uterus impressed us before 30 but sure must have disappoint Jill after 30. I'm surprised by some of these and somewhat expected Jessa's children to also be part of this.
Restrictions are eased in Tennessee, but the Bates family decides to keep staying at home for now. The Stewarts take Layla for a walk and discuss her health. Nathan shares some news with his brothers. Erin, Chad and Carlin work together on a surprise for Zach & Whitney, who have been keeping the boutique afloat.
-T
At the Bates home, lockdown restrictions have been listed and the family is working to finish some projects. Kelly says lockdown was difficult, and they have a lot of projects to do. The family is tackling the front of the house and the yard as well as taking down their christmas lights (it's summer! kelly jokes). Kelly says that as stores are opening, Kelly is asking about getting more of the family together, since they'd been carefully staying apart due to COVID. But as restrictions are lifting, Kelly wants to see her kids. Gil says not yet, probably, and watch as they increase the gathering numbers. He jokes around 40 should be ok, and Kelly says he just didn't want to buy the groceries.
At Carlin and Evan's, the Stewart family is heading out for a little walk. Carlin says dealing with COVID as first time parents is stressful. Layla had been having some issues with her breathing, and the Stewarts have been working with her doctor to try to figure things out. They learned Layla had a small hole in her heart, but she is still having struggles. They've been nervous bringing her in during the pandemic, but they have been doing it and hope for the best. Carlin says she's been overwhelmed with the joy of Layla and the stress of her health conditions. Evan says nothing matures you like parenthood.
At Erin and Chad's, their yard is full of their playing kids. Chad is pushing Carson in the swing. Chad says he asked Bradley if he misses Bradley and Kaci and he said yes. Erin says they were worried about the boutique at the start of the pandemic, but people did a lot of online shopping and Zach & Whitney worked like crazy to make it work. Erin says she and Carlin want to take them a gift to show their appreciation for all they do. Erin calls Carlin and they decide to plan a getaway and drop off a basket for them. Erin asks if Carlin would be up to help watch the kids, and Chad jokes "why not? what's a few more?" They all decide this is a good idea, and they'll go ahead with it.
Nathan, Lawson, and Trace arrive at the barn to visit their horses. Lawson and Nathan had been in Arkansas, but since restrictions had started to lift, they returned to Tennessee to see their family and their horses. They groom their horses and prepare to ride, and they talk about what they've been doing. Nathan says he's been training pilots, and every 45 days he used to go to the Philippines with MedicCorp but since the coronavirus he's just been training pilots. Trace asks Lawson if he has any new relationships, and Lawson jokes he's starting things up again with an old flame, Music. They then turn to Nathan, and ask about the ring he's wearing. Nathan explains it's a promise ring, there's someone in his life, but he isn't talking about it to the public. Nathan says it is time to settle down, and move along with life, career and maybe marriage. He says the time is coming that he leaves the bachelor crew. Nahan asks if Trace is recovering or back in the saddle. Trace jokes that he is back in the saddle, trying to grow from his last relationship and trying to heal. The guys head off on the trail, and Lawson says these times together are so important since they don't know when it'll happen again.
At Zach and Whitney's, Bradley and Kaci bounce on the trampoline and Khloe sits with Whitney as she works. Whitney says having 3 kids, a business, and your husband working full time during a pandemic is crazy. Whitney and her kids play Mother, May I? and Whitney says they've just spending time outside, trying new games and having fun. Meanwhile, the Paines are driving to run up to their porch and do a drop off drive by. Whitney is in the backyard, and Erin text that there is something on the porch. The kids head to the porch, and find the basket. There is snacks, candles, and a card. Whitney is touched, and she calls Erin to thank her. Erin says giving a gift is so fun, and you leave more excited and feel good when you give a gift, and she hopes Zach & Whitney will know how much they really appreciate them.
