Oh bliss for a very lazy morning. Em slept in until nearly 9am – an all time record – and woke up a little happier than she has been for a while. The kids got to watch some ABC for Kids for the first time in weeks, and while a novelty, they were more than thrilled to hit the beach for a little fun later in the morning.
The local beach is about 5mins walk from Judith’s and absolute paradise. We had the whole beach to ourselves, and Nick and myself enjoyed some snorkeling while the kids did the sandcastle thing and then collected periwinkles.
The water was too warm for even Em to complain, and it was so shallow, it was just perfect to let them roam and have a little independence. We looked for crabs, but only found a few claws and a body, but Em was thrilled nonetheless.
Today we had the first effort as “Em and Mom” time. Nick and myself have decided the kids are spending too much time together and Lachie – the serial pest – is driving Em mad. So in the searing heat Em and myself headed to the park, and then back to the beach for more crab hunting. She was thrilled and can’t wait to do it all again, and I am wishing we had not suggested this until the weather cools significantly.
We concluded the day by drinking far too much Clare Valley white, and I can absolutely conclude it is fabulous. Pikes, Sevenhill - fabulous.
