Fun at the beach

This weather is driving us mad, summer has been teasing us by giving us a few really nice hot days and then slips away to make may for winter to taunt  us. A few weeks ago, the weather was warming up really nicely so Justin and I took advantage and went to the beach.

Bondi Beach was having the Festival of Wind which was basically a kite festival. There were loads of colourful kites, big and small, filling up the sky. There were craft stations for the kids to make their own kites and of course, lots of stalls selling kites. The highlight of Justin's day - chips on the beach! He was entertained by the kites for a full 2 minutes before demanding chips at Bondi! The other highlight was catching the bus there which thankfully seems to have tapered off as he hasn't been asking to go on the bus lately! We bought grilled fish and chips and ate it on the grass, Justin thoroughly enjoying his lunch. For a an extra special treat, he had ice cream for dessert. After lunch we went to check out the fire breathing sand dragon which Justin was so in awe of....for another 5 minutes...and then it was time to go home.

The awesome weather continued so we took advantage again by going to Coogee beach with his friend Rafael. These two monkeys play so well together and always have fun. That day, we decided to explore the rock pools which was quite tricky watching 2 toddler boys while Rafael's mom had the baby in the Baby Bjorn and making sure no one slipped. The boys had such fun dodging the waves and splashing about.

Since then, the weather has turned cold and even raining some days. Oh summer, how I wish you would come back for longer than a few days, stop teasing us and just stay already.
