Summer days

Between Christmas and New Year’s we headed down the coast. To a beautiful spot where my father-in-law has a wonderful beach house.

In beach mode

At this time of year the beach house is a pretty busy place! So Little Miss Q got cuddles and Master D had cousins to play with.

We spent most of our time at the beach. I’d sit in our sun shelter breastfeeding or holding my sleeping babe, while Master D ran around with his cousins and dad…

…or played in the sand.

And here is Little Miss Q’s first experience with sand 🙂 At least she didn’t put a handful in her mouth like Master D did when he was a babe!

And back at the house we were lucky to have some amazing visitors – kookaburras!

Walking in the rain

We’ve had a funny old start to Summer. Just before Christmas was mild and wet. We felt like walking so out we went – walking in the rain 🙂 To be fair, it was only drizzling, so we popped on our wet weather gear.

And because he was wearing gumboots Master D was allowed to jump in puddles – and jump in them he did! I lost count of how many 🙂

There were snails on the move because of the rain and Master D spotted them everywhere. He instructed me not to step on them. We also saw…

…lots of ants busily working

…squawking galahs that we disturbed into flight

…a circle of toadstools where the fairies must meet

…a ‘talking’ pine tree (or so Master D said)

And for some reason Master D was very interested in drains. So turns out I have lots of photos of them taken by him!

And finally, here he is just been a goose!

Happy days, Kelly
