I decided to head to the beach for the day.
After all it was going to be 38 degrees.... so we called up grandpa... with no warning at all and asked if we could come for dinner...
We got there about 2pm.. after all the mornings activities, and a quick stop in Hastings to pick up some rashi's - after all it was supposed to be 38....
At the shop in Hastings E found a boogie board and convinced me to buy it... by offering to pay part!
We headed pretty much to the beach when we arrived at Grandpa's.... it was so hot!
There are no photos because I refuse to leave my camera on the beach while I get in the water, and high tide was at 4pm.Funnily enough we were about the only ones on that section of beach, thanks to the council/ ranger who was redirecting every one with dogs.
The water was pretty cold but it was so hot outside we didn't care.... E had an awesome time on the new boogie board... ironic really because she had told me that morning she didn't want to go to the beach she hated the beach.. I ignored her of course.
The funniset part: You will never guess who the last person out of the water was..... that's right... Grandpa, and he had a short sleeved shirt on!!!
We did however stay longer than Grandpa, and I am pretty sure I was the only one who got sunburnt (yes I had sunscreen on)
Afterwards we headed back to Grandpa's.... for something to eat... bet you can't guess who was hungry?
Followed by fish for dinner... Eesh wanted mash potato.. cause she hates chips!
Grandpa and Sue were going to make it for her but I vetoed that idea.... a good thing too because it turns out that according to Eesh Grandpa (with help from Sue) makes the best chips ever. And she ate all of the fish as well(that she doesn't like)... infact she ate everything on her plate except the pods of the peas.. then the ice cream that Grandpa bought especially for her... because we always have ice cream when we go to Grandpas.
Acacia... had expensive vanilla bean with Milo... the same type of ice cream that she asked me "Who would buy that?" in the supermarket the other day... because where we shop it was $14 a tub.
Then after dinner and ice cream we were going to head home... Acacia wanted too but I had promised E she could go swimming after dinner, one last turn on the board before we headed home, so we ended up at the beach instead. just in time for sunset:
the tide was at the perfet depth for Eesh.... who went swimming in her bather bottoms and t-shirt.
Acacia who hadn't wanted to swim stayed on the beach... and marvled at how pretty it was
Sue went swimming too... that's her in the background.
Acacia was amazed that the sun set oh so quickly...
She is so proud that she is getting better at butterfly...
dad and I watched the birds... in between taking photos of the sunset.
That was the only half decent one I managed to get because unusually my camera was in one shot instead of ai servo.
And Acacia:
wrote "I love Somers" in the sand.
Of course... I took the macro lens to Grandpa's so couldn't get a shot of the whole thing.
