Eliza decided to get changed in to something more weather appropriate
Once dressed she made her way outside towards the dock- sitting at the end of the dock with her feet dangling over the water, sketchbook in hand. She began to sketch as Milo joined her.
"So why you out here by yourself?" He questioned
"I need peace- you don't get much of that when around my brothers, you'll soon realise" she answered
"I know how you feel- my parents don't necessarily like saying no" they turned towards the house and saw Sally breastfeeding Bean and Donna playing the piano once again.
"You weren't like that where you?" She asked referring to Bean and Sally
He quickly replied "No ahah- definitely no. Uh she didn't do that with donna and i- He's a totally mommy's boy" Eliza hummed and went back to her sketch as it was almost complete
"What you drawing?" he asked curiously
"A moth. Becky seemed pretty upset by, you know- it being dead. So i though, might as well draw her one to make her feel a bit better about it." She replied and showed him the sketch.
"Jesus Christ, that's awesome- you have some real talent" he exclaimed.

Over with the dads, they sat on wooden chairs watching over the lake- talking about random stuff
All they seem to hear is the kids playing video games inside the house/
"Why are they inside right now, anyways? Why would they not come out her and enjoy the lake...or do something in the woods? Why not be like those two?" Lenny said gesturing towards the two teen sitting peacefully by the dock. "See they understand- the importance of fresh air and nature"
"There wasn't a time of day i wasn't outside. You know, we weren't. We were always--we wee never in." Eric exclaimed
"Look there's blood squirting everywhere"
"I cant take it anymore." Lenny annoyingly said, hopping up out of his chair- rushing towards the house. A few seconds later he came out with each of his boys hurled over his shoulders, complaining like the little brats they are. The commotion caused Eliza to look over and laugh at the scene. "That's it. No more video games. No more cell phones. No more texting- Just from now on, while we're here stay outside and play." He had had enough
"What are we supposed to do?" Greg asked in disbelief
"Just play like normal kids. Come on, move it. Where's Becky?" This caused all the dads to retreat up the steps to grab their kids "Let's go. Let me show you how the Pilgrims used to hang.."

Here they were wondering through the woods with Kurt telling them all the stupid things they did as kids "Hey, look- look. Make a tree fort. I'll get you started." he began to collect pieces of wood
"Rob lived in one of those for a year" Eric said with a slight smirk
"Why?" Milo asked his father while chuckling
"My dad took away my roller skates" he frowned
"Uh oh, Vietman flashback." Eliza stated causing a fit of laughter from the adults
Lenny then saw a rope on a tree and started going crazy with excitement "Rope on a tree, baby. You know what that means." Eric asked all giddy
"We get to hang ourselves?" Charlotte responded causing Eliza to turn to Milo's shoulder to try muffle her laugh- they boy doing the same.
"Are you kidding, What- you see a rope on a tree and that doesn't make you wanna go nuts?" Lenny asked
"You-I-it makes me- You know what? You know what, let me show them" Eric shuttered
He then climbed on top of the rock, preparing to swing "Be careful dad" Milo told his father, worried for his safety. "Hey kid, stop worrying- ill be fine" He told his son
Once he jumped and swung over the lake they all yelled "Drop!"
"I cant! I'm scared! its too high!" He yelled crashing into a tree causing us to rush over to him. He panicked "Oh, God. Oh, God, my leg's snapped. Oh, my god, the bones sticking out. I need help" Eliza gagged and dug her face in to Milo's Chest, in which he wrapped his arm around her shoulder "Ahahah- It's a stick. I got you." Eric laughed
Eliza sighed in relief and pulled away from Milo, however he kept his arm around her shoulder
"Daddy, that bird is hurt." Becky stated pointing to a bird that was slightly rolling on the ground
"Oh, my god. Ill go get a shoebox" Lenny went to retrieve a box as Eliza walked towards the bird and carefully picked it up, stroking its head, calming it down a little
When Lenny came back, she placed the bird in he box and handed it over to Becky, who thanked her sister
Once back at the lake house and tending to the bird, they all decided to go out for dinner. Meaning Eliza went to get changed
