Brandon, Bailey, Nanny, Poppy and myself all piled into the car this morning and headed off to the coast. Poppy had to return a camping light at a local business up there so I thought we'd make a day of it. We had heaps and heaps of things in the boot of the car. It's amazing what you need to pack with kids to cover all occasions and situations.
Poppy returned his light quite easily so we were on our way again. We headed over to a fantastic park right next to the beach. There was a pirate ship and a forte, swings,and all sorts of other play equipment. The 2 boys ran around, climbed, slid, dug and swung. Bailey spent most of the time on the swing with poppy pushing him and then again swinging with nanny pushing him. We attempted to have some lunch that i had prepared at home earlier this morning and packed in the Esky. Of course kids always run in the opposite direction than where you are going so it made for an interesting time. Between the 3 adults we managed to eat some food. It may not have been together but we all ate some.
From here we decided to put the kids in their swimmers and venture down to the beach. Everyone had a great time. We all played in the water and then Brandon ran all the way up the hill and then ran all the way back down into the water. The boys were so very happy. It was great to see. I think the kids were a little tired from yesterday though. Eventually we all piled back into the car and headed home. The 2 boys spent the rest of the afternoon just taking it easy- walking around following nanny and poppy . I went to work for a little while and then planned on getting the boys into bed by about 6:30pm. By 8:30pm both boys were finally asleep. A bit later than anticipated but at least asleep. What a wonderful day!
