Today was a beautiful day. Not humid, just sunny, perfect for a day on the beach. Our first call of the day was the library, followed by the park. Moo got her 6monthly hair cut and we went to swimming lessons where Moo joined us.
Smallest did some excellent swimming and did a 50m swim. Small beat his record and did 400m in 11:35. Moo and I have been invited to swim in their pool tomorrow as it is their last lesson and it is a fun day. After swimming we drove to Port Hope (about an hour away) where we parked up and had dinner, then had a quick walk through the quaint town, decided we would come back next year on our own and drove to Cobourg Beach.
We parked up away from the beach and carried all of our bags to the beach (Moo and Smallest walked back again though because he dropped his spade somewhere!).
It was very busy today but we managed to find a spot near to the water but still on the nice sand. Up went up our Sunbrella, three chairs, two blankets and books, ball, bucket and spade and Boules (jackers). The boys started building castles and rivers and it wasn't long before Small went in and swam though he said it was very very cold.
Smallest followed not long after. Moo and I got to read our library magazines and books (though I did have to walk back to the car to look for books we already had on the beach!).
We played Jackers. The boys played football and carried on swimming and building.
I moved the car near to the beach and brought the picnic back. I felt a little smug carrying our tea to the beach while everyone else was heading off for their tea and their kids all saying "oh he why can't we stay?".
We stayed there till 7:30pm and the sun was still strong. We drove home (hour and a quarter) and Huffle was there waiting for us in his new golfing shorts, doing a bit of weeding after playing a game with his new friend Rum.
The kids went to bed and said they had a lovely day. Smallest said it was the best beach EVER!
