[Seagull squawks]

- Kite!

- Wow, grandma.

How did you learn to do that?

- Oh, I've played a lot of beach volleyball in my day.

[Laughs]

- That's why we want you to teach us

All the best volleyball moves.

All: yay!

- Well, the most important thing

Is just to get it over the net.

Here, give it a try.

- Oops.

I guess I need a little more practice.

- Kite.

- That's a great idea, max.

You fly your brand-new dragon kite

While grandma shows us how to play beach volleyball.

- Aw.

- Now, the trick to volleyball

Is to keep your eye on the ball

And picture it going over the net.

- I've got it!

Oh!

I tried to picture the ball going over the net,

But instead, I saw max's--

- Kite!

- We're trying to play volleyball here,

So why don't you fly your kite over this way?

I'll be back in a minute.

- Okay, ruby.

- This is a great place for kite flying.

There's lots of room for you to run,

Nobunny's in the way,

And it's just far enough from our volleyball court.

Here, I'll help you get started.

You go ahead of me, and when I say run,

Start running.

Okay, max, run!

See?

You need to run to get it flying.

- Kite!

- Have fun.

- Hurry, ruby.

Grandma showed us how to do a bump sh*t.

- [Panting] how does that work?

- Watch.

I'll send the ball over to louise.

- You put your wrists together

And hit the ball like this!

- Ready, ruby?

- I've got it!

Oh!

- Kite.

- Max, I almost fell on your kite.

You don't want it to get wrecked, do you?

I think you need a little more help

Getting your kite up and flying.

I'll be right back.

- Okay, ruby.

[Seagull caws]

- If you run fast and let the string out,

Your kite will fly high and stay there.

Toss it up when I tell you to.

Okay...

Now!

Now I'll just let more string out,

And watch what happens.

- Kite.

- There you go, max.

I'm back.

- Good job, ruby.

- Grandma just showed us the greatest play.

- It's called a spike sh*t.

- Why don't you show her how it's done, louise?

- Okay.

[Grunts]

- [Laughs]

Oops.

- Wow.

How did you do that, louise?

- Kite!

- Ready, ruby?

- I think so.

- Kite!

- Oof!

- Kite!

- You have to remember to hold on tight.

You wouldn't want to lose your kite, would you?

Give it another try, but this time,

Try to keep it away from our volleyball game, okay?

I really want to get that ball over the net.

All right, max...

Go!

[Seagull squawks]

- Okay, ruby.

Are you ready to spike that ball?

- This time, I'm going to get it over the net

No matter what.

- That's the spirit.

[Laughs]

- Oh, no!

[Whistle blows]

- Great play, ruby.

- That was amazing.

- It was?

- You headed the ball.

Not many players can do that,

But you got the ball over the net

And won a point for your side.

- Wow.

I guess I did.

[Laughs]

- All right! - Yay!

- Yay, ruby!

I didn't know you could head the ball.

- It's pretty rare, but it was a great sh*t.

- And it wouldn't have happened if it weren't for max and his...

- Kite!

[All laughing]

[Seagulls squawking]

[Seagulls squawking]

- How does this spot look?

- Perfect, grandma!

Oh!

My hat!

Come back!

- [Laughs]

Stop that hat!

- Got it!

- Good catch, ruby!

- Hi, roger!

- Well, we've got to batten down the hatches today.

[Laughter]

We did it!

Here's your craft box, ruby.

- Thanks, grandma.

I'm going to collect some shells

And make a special surprise for you.

Oh, but I'll need something to put them in.

Oh, max!

- I've got something in here for you too, max.

Oh, looks like this could use a little wind too.

[Inhales deeply]

- Beach ball!

- That's right.

[Laughs]

- Thanks, max!

I'll just be over here, grandma.

- Are you ready to catch it, max?

- Beach ball!

- Hmm, that's pretty, but it's not quite right.

Uh, that one's broken.

- Beach ball!

- Oh!

Go get it, max!

[Laughs]

Ohh!

This is just the kind of shell I was looking for!

- Beach ball?

- Good work, max.

I'm collecting shells for grandma's surprise.

- Ahh, nothing like a nice, relaxing day at the beach.

- Beach ball!

- [Laughs]

Shall we get back to our game of catch, max?

[Laughs]

- [Gasps]

Oh, these are perfect!

- Beach ball!

- Oops!

- [Laughs]

- Nice tackle, max.

- Beach ball!

- [Laughs]

- I need you to be careful with your beach ball.

I'm making a surprise for grandma.

Do you want me to tell you what it is?

I'm going to decorate these shells

And make her a beautiful necklace.

Isn't that exciting?

Have fun, max.

- Oh!

I never expected that to happen.

- I'm back!

- Did you find some nice shells?

- Yes, and now I'm going to make a surprise for you.

If it's going to be a surprise,

Then I shouldn't see it until it's done,

So why don't I go get us some lunch at the snack bar?

- These shells will look even prettier

When I add some nice sparkly paint.

Now I just have to decide what pattern I want to paint.

- Beach ball!

- Careful, max!

Oh, no!

- Beach ball.

- There's paint splattered on my shells.

We need to find a way to keep your ball away from my shells.

Hmm.

You see that red-and-white striped thing

Fluttering on the lifeguard stand?

It's called a wind sock.

It tells you which way the wind is blowing.

It's pointing that way, so that means

It's going to blow your ball in that direction.

So if you stay on this side of the umbrella,

Your ball won't get blown into my shells.

Got it?

Thanks, max!

- Beach ball!

- There you go.

Lunch for three.

- Mm-mmm, looks delicious.

- Very pretty!

Grandma will be so surprised!

Uh-oh, the paint isn't dry yet.

I need a place to hang this to let it dry.

- Beach ball!

- Hmm.

There.

I hope it dries in time for grandma's surprise.

- Beach ball!

- Huh?

Oh, no!

- Oh, ruby, what a lovely surprise!

Such a beautiful seashell wind chime!

- Huh?

Oh, I guess it is.

- Wow, did you make that?

Nice!

- Thanks!

- Where did you ever come up with such a clever idea?

- Well, I had a little help from max and his...

- Beach ball!

[Electronic humming]

- There you go, max.

Now you've got a lei,

Just like everyone else at the tropical beach party.

That's what this string of flowers is called.

A lei.

It's hawaiian.

- Flying saucer!

- You can play with your flying saucer anytime.

Come on, max.

You'll love it once you get there.

- [Sighs] flying saucer.

- Hi, ruby!

Isn't this topical beach party great?

- Everything looks so...

All: tropical!

[Laughter]

[Electronic humming]

- Cool!

- Flying saucer!

- Max, flying saucers aren't part of a tropical beach party.

But the limbo dance is!

- What's a limbo dance?

- You'll see.

Do you have the music ready, grandma?

- I sure do, ruby!

[Steel drum music]

- And we've got the limbo pole.

- Yup, we're all set.

- What's the pole for?

- It's part of the dance.

Here's how it works.

When grandma starts the music, everyone lines up

And does the limbo under the pole like this.

There.

- That's it? - That looks easy!

- Uh-huh!

- Then, when everybunny has gone under

Without knocking the pole off or falling over,

Mr. Piazza and katie lower the pole,

And we all try again.

- What happens if somebunny does knock the pole off?

- Or fall over?

- Then that bunny is out.

- Now I get it. - Uh-oh.

- Each time around, the pole gets lower

Until there's only one bunny left.

That bunny's the limbo champ!

- Ohh. - All right!

[Electronic humming] - flying saucer!

[All laughing]

- Yes, that's how it's done,

But it's a lot more fun if you go under.

- Come on, everybunny!

It's time to do

The limbo!

- Hit it, grandma!

- Here goes!

[Steel drum music]

[All talking at once]

- Max, you dropped your lei.

- [Sighs]

- I did it!

- [Giggles]

- We're lowering the pole!

- How low can you go?

- This is fun. - I don't think I can do it.

- [Gasps]

[Laughs]

- Uh, ooh, uh...

Ah!

- Valerie's out

- Uh-huh.

- Good try, valerie!

- Flying saucer.

[Electronic humming]

- Come on.

- We're making the pole lower.

- Here comes the music.

- How low can you go?

[Laughing]

- Ooh, this is getting hard.

Whoa!

- Going down.

- The lower it goes, the lower you go.

- Oh, this is so exciting!

- Whoa, awesome!

- Phew!

- [Groans]

- Uh-oh. - Aww.

- You did great, louise.

- Well, you did well, louise.

- Thank you.

- Flying saucer?

- Oh, max. [Laughs]

Why don't you just play with your flying saucer?

But can you try to keep it away from our limbo dance?

Oops, you dropped your lei again.

[Laughs]

- Well, ruby, it looks like it's down to you and me.

- Who's going to be the limbo champ?

- It's getting so low!

- It sure is.

[Steel drum music]

♪

- Uh-huh.

- Ooh... I...ooh..

[Electronic humming]

- Flying saucer.

- Uh-oh.

- [Gasps]

- Roger's out! - He didn't make it!

- Ooh, now it's just down to me!

All: go, ruby! Go, ruby!

[Electronic humming]

- Flying saucer!

- [Gasps]

Huh?

[All cheering]

[Gasps]

I made it!

[All cheering]

- Now, that was low!

- That settles it.

Ruby is the limbo champ!

[All cheering]

Way to go, ruby! - You go, girl!

- Thanks, but I couldn't have done it

Without some help from max and his...

- Flying saucer!

[Electronic humming]

- Wow. - Spectacular.
