A day at the beach

As this was the last weekend before school and work obviously started, we decided to make the most of the beautiful weather and we went to the beach on Saturday.

 I saw the moon at about 12:oo the afternoon, and could not resist taking a photo of it.  This was taken in broad daylight, in harsh sun, so I was pleasantly surprised today when I opened the photo.  No photoshopping was done except for making it smaller for the web.

And yes, I could also not resist taking photos of the seagulls. 

and we were treated to a show from the Discovery Medicopter as well!

Unfortunately the sea was a bit rough, so there was no actual swimming in the sea.  The children did play a little in the waves.  As you can see, I am really strict when it comes to covering up for the harsh sun, so they wear protective clothing as well as hats. And this is not just for the sea, same rules apply for the pool at home.  I also use a SPF 50 sunblock on them.

And what will a trip to the beach be without building something?

 

 

Annibelle is a beautiful child, but never ask her to pose for a photo while she is busy doing something.  This is her response....

 And Nathan will ALWAYS smile...  

Until he had enough...
