When the sextuplets were three years old, Jon and Kate introduced them to the beach, which proved to be a cold, windy, and sandy disaster of a day. In this episode, Jon and Kate brave the beach again with the hope that they will get smiles and laughter instead of whining and tears. Also in this episode, Kate finally lets the kids get messy when they finger-paint and body-paint each other with chocolate and vanilla pudding! But the kids don't just get messy; they also get wet when Jon and Kate enroll them in swim lessons.
