Beach bonanza

As I was walking home from drooping k off at kindy last week a car pulled up and the driver beckoned mysteriously. I headed over to see what Isabelle had to say. She was off to Cornwallis and invited Cameron and I along. I gazed up at the clear blue sky, the heat haze shimmering along the tar and said.... yes :) Hoofing it home, I prepped a swim bag, changed Cameron, shaved my legs, got my costume on, found my sarong and crocs, and ripped Cameron's carseat out of the dead grey beast in the driveway. C sang a song of happiness the whole way there, thrilling in the feeling ob being in a car, and the "me car! me car!" he was holding. We got to Cornwallis at 10:15 and it was simply fantastic. We dug and splashed and snacked and lolled and dug and splashed some more. At some stage I decided to address C's diffidence to the water by swooshing him through the sea and then spinning him so his toes skimmed the surface. Madison thought this was the bomb. So did C!!! Fights broke out over it lol, and I was pretty knackered by the time the spinning came to an end. Somehow I managed to burn the backs of my knees while doing said skimming and swooshing. Normally I would have sucked it up but it was my wedding anniversary, and my planned outfit got a radical rethink lol. We got home at 1:30, and C enjoyed a 45 minute sleep. The only reason he got 45 minutes and not 20 is because Isabelle kindly drove us past the kindy, where I leapt out with child and stroller and Isabelle swapped carseats around when she got to Esteban's school. It really was a perfect day, bar the sunburn and the lack of sleep for C. He was such a happy boy having a special beach day with his mummy :)
