Sunlit Daze

I’ve had a couple of charmed, yummy days at the beach with the kids. We start off by getting the dream park in the shade right near the health food shop, where we stock up on frozen fruit icecream cups, roasted chick peas, honey dipped banana chips and date and almond rolls. Then we find a good shady spot under a (denutted/Ferinelli/castrato) coconut tree, spread out a throw rug and have a good old munch.

Then the boys have a wade and get busy catching sand crabs. Bubby licks the sand a few times and figures out that it’s not so good in his mouth. Or his eyes for that matter. Bubby gets all excited watching the skydivers land underneath their parachutes. We try and train him to keep his hat on, but every time he whips it off in a flash so we have to head off before his little scone gets too much sun damage.

We stop at Auntie Nicks so the kids can wash the sand out of their hair in the pool (hey, it’s a rental!), have a cuppa and cruise home. What a delicious way to spend a school holiday, or two, or three, or all of them!
