Caves Beach

On Sunday we took a drive up to Caves Beach. The kids hadn't been there before and they LOVED it. You go through a big cave and then through a tunnel and come out on the other side of the beach, it's pretty awesome :)
I planned on taking some shots of the tunnel and cave on the way back through but there was an "incident" lol


My beautiful babies :) Finally got a nice shot of them together. A little out of focus but I had to act fast before they ran off!
 

Hubby and Willy taking a stroll.


Cheeky boy


Linking up with Live Every Moment 'A different view' challenge




This was his little game of choice, throwing sand up in the air, lol





and then, she {snapped}

For all these shots I used my new Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 Lens. I heart it :) It's much crisper than the kit lens I was using! I didn't even have to edit these much, just reduced the size and sharpened for the web. Plus I  didn't have time to do any fancy editing, lol but I might go back and play with some of them :)









Mr Serious. Love this one :)



"Right there. That's where I'm going to dive in." 
Yep, this was right before the "incident"

Linking up with Snap & Share 'children' theme and A Few of my Favourite Things because watching my babies explore and discover new things is a definite favourite :)





Snap & Share  


A few seconds after this he dived into the rock pool head first =O
Hubby was right there just out of the shot but wasn't quick enough to grab him, lol.
He looked very much like a drowned rat when he came out but wasn't too fussed about what had happened! 
Lucky I had a spare jumper and nappy in the car, lol

Linking up with Theme Thursday for 'Water'




Charlotte up at the lookout. Love this one too :)


The end :)






Give me your best shot at Better in BulkPhotoStory Friday

WOw! These pictures are BEAUTIFUL and your son oh my gosh...makes me wish for a little boy to dress up in surfer clothes!! Such cute kiddos!

Your babies are so adorable; your little boy is so cute withi his still-chubby legs and those curls. :)

Looks like quite a fun day and your pictures are great! (I know about out-of-focus shots. I have plenty of those, especially when you have kiddos who do not stay still for long!)

I love all of your photos! I love the one where Dad and son were walking the beach and I can relate to having to take a quick shot before anyone moves! Definitely love your water shot! It is fabulous. You have a beautiful background, adorable kids and even water movement. Gorgeous. Thank you for linking up with us for Theme Thursday!

I love these photos! Your children are both so beautiful and that beach is such a great place. My favorites are the ones of your little boy throwing the sand. Looks like a very fun day! Except for the plunge!

FANTASTIC shots Michelle! I love them all but I think my favorite is the un-portrait of his chubby hands and feet in the sand. Warms me to my toes. :)
