Day 112 - Side by Side

After a morning at the markets, where Glenda ran a stall selling produce from the community garden, including her jams and chutneys and where Jenna spent about half an hour choosing some cowrie shells from the jewellery stall (I felt just like I was waiting outside of Diva for her) we came home for some lunch and for Henry to decide he didn't want a sleep. Conversely Dale did want a sleep, so Jenna, Henry, Glenda and I took a walk down to the beach. In a semi attempt to get Henry to fall asleep we even wheeled him down in the stroller. That didn't work.

Anyway, Jenna and the little green machine had a great time running about the beach, even if Henry did sit down in the water by accident in the first couple of minutes. Keen to get Henry into the water, Jenna did her best to entice him. Henry had other ideas about those little foamy waves surrounding his feet!

Day 4 - Queen of the Castle

We hit the beach again this morning, because it looked like there might be a bit of a change in the weather by the afternoon. We built sandcastles, swam and played at the water's edge and took a stack of photos of Henry playing in the sand and Jenna having a bit of a boogie board. Having taken some great photos of each, I also tried to get a bit creative with today's photo. It's my aim this year to get a few more photos like this that I am really happy with!

Day 3 - Hi Jenna!

If you squint a bit you can see who Henry saw in the water. There is Jenna out with her boogie board and Henry is giving her a little delayed wave. We arrived at Eden early afternoon, for a visit with Dale's Mum, Glenda, and it was almost straight down to the beach to grab a couple of hours play before dinner. We dug in the sand and built a few sandcastles, Uncle Dion dug a hole to hide Henry in, Dale and Jenna braved it in the water and Sawyer (Dion's little dog) ran up and down the beach barking at the waves; a good afternoon had by all.

Oh, and as Dale pointed out - a happy 3rd anniversary to us on the third day of 2012!
