At the beach!!

We had a beautiful warm spring day yesterday so we took a trip to the beach.

The last time we went to the beach, was the summer when they were 18-20 months old (except for a walk on the beach on our camping trip last year). Our experience when they were younger was quite a disaster, they didn’t like the sand, they didn’t like the waves/water and they cried about getting cold and sandy……so last summer we didn’t really go to the beach.

Yesterday was a totally different experience. They LOVED the beach. The LOVED the sand and the water. It was fantastic in the rock pool. The first 20-30metres of the rock pool was really shallow, about knee depth for a toddler. It was perfect. They could run out in the water and it was really safe. There was only about 10 kids in a huge pool and they were all 2-4 years old, and everyone was happy and playing in the water.

I dug two huge holes, and the boys had great fun running in the water, collecting a bucket of water, then dumping it in the hole. They jumped in the holes, and then when they got tired, they rested in their holes too. We spent about an hour on the beach and it was so much fun. We look forward to many trips to the beach this summer.

The next 3 photos are what I get with 3yr old twins when you ask them both to look up for a photo!
