Today we spent all day at the beach with all the family for pictures of all the grand kids for my mother and then a picnic. We in fact went to two different beaches, the first being Dee Why beach and the second Palm Beach.
The first stop of the day was Dee Why beach where we grow up and so my mother hired a photographer to take pictures of all ten grand children plus some family shots. After an hour or so of taking pictures the kids were let loose and went crazy on the beach. All the kids had a great time playing in the sand, collecting sea shells and getting wet. We had to keep them back from the water as the surf was huge and we didn't want to lose any of them. Of course after a couple of hours all the kids were soaking wet and covered in sand, and this was only our first stop of the day.
After cleaning the kids up and a new set of clothes we were off to beach number two for more playing on the beach plus a picnic lunch. The second beach was Palm beach which is the last beach on the Northern Beaches Peninsula of Sydney. All the houses have unbelievable views of the beach and ocean, the best part is you could probably pick up a cheap house for about $2 million dollars up there. This is the beach that several Wiggles videos were made, and is probably one of the most beautiful beaches in Sydney.
Well once again the kids spent all there time playing on the beach. Sand castles, collecting shells and running around being crazy. It was another great time at the beach and the kids were very upset when it was time to leave. Once again all the kids were covered in sand and soaking wet.
Thankfully for the long drive home it was very quiet as the kids were all worn out.
The kids had a quiet night of nachos, ice cream and a movie. What a day they had, probably couldn't get any better than that.
