We went to the beach today. It was a perfect perfect day! Sunshine all day and yet we were never too hot. The Easter holidays are generally perfect weather here, except when it isn't! I texted friends again yesterday to see who wanted to come with us. This time it was Ty and his family. Levi and Ty are already over the tiff from yesterday and played together all day. Sandgate beach is perfect for them. That coupled with the king tides around the full moon of Easter means that there is a huge flat sandbank to play on when the tide goes out and when the tide is in, you would have to try to drown as the water is only about knee deep.
We took our bikes as well because there is a bike track along the whole foreshore. It was fun until things started to fall off! Levi's swimmers fell off the back of Shannon's bike at some point and then in quick succession we lost Ty's bell and finally Levi's pedal off their bikes. Obviously Levi's was a show stopper! We stopped and Shannon rode back to his car (finding Levi's board shorts on the way). Then luckily we stayed where we were. Our spot on the foreshore was shaded and the beach completely our own. It was Levi and Ty so we didn't have to worry about them pushing themselves beyond their skills. They are both very careful boys. It meant that we could sit in the shade watching them. They thought up games and played with little intervention.
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday. We have nothing planned. I love the sound of that! In light of Sizzlers with friends tonight and chocolate eggs for breakfast tomorrow, I'm thinking Levi will be bouncing off the walls by about 9.30 anyway!
