Joshua Morrow Reflects on the Summer

Fans of The Young and the Restless may have missed seeing Joshua Morrow on screen a lot this summer, but the actor has been making the most of his time off.

"This has been the most fun summer I've ever had," the soap opera star told Soap Opera Digest. "I'm not doing much on the show. They were pounding me for a while with story, but now I'm watching Phyllis get thrown in prison. I'm just observing, and it's a welcome break."

And he's spending it with his boys, Cooper, who will be 5 in September, and Crew, 2.

"Man, it's heaven," he said. "They're getting to the level now where you don't have to bring strollers, diapers, bottles and everything. We can just throw on some trunks and baseball caps and roll. They're also at this great stage where all they want to do is play sports."

Morrow was recovering from a weekend of fun when the publication caught up with him.

"We have a beach house, and it was just me, the wife and the boys," he added. "We played baseball in the sand, made sand castles and took outdoor showers. It was awesome."

In closing, Morrow was honest about trying for another kid: "We're not on any clock, but I think it will happen some day. We're going by the seat of our pants."
