Hazy Beach Morning...

I'm going to keep this pretty wordless today :)

A few weeks ago, sunny winter morning, cousins on the beach.
Enjoy!

When a Seal Came to Town.. (Umina Beach)

A couple of weeks ago we heard on the radio that there was a seal down on the beach. Whaaaaat?? A seal? This is a pretty uncommon occurrence around here, so as soon as school let out we went down there for a sticky beak :)


Since the only thing between Charlotte's school and the beach is a playground, half the school headed down there too!

Oh hai!

National Parks and Wildlife got there pretty quickly and roped the area off to keep the seal nice and safe. It was there for most of the day I think, we got there around 3:30pm and it had been there since the morning. It didn't look like it was in any rush to head back out to sea either!
It was quite happy to flop around on the sand! 
The tide was starting to come in and when the water reached it's tail it shuffled up the beach like a giant slug, haha :D
Can we talk about how much I love this picture?? Because I do :) I'd like to say that was a look of excitement about the seal but really he was just more interested in playing!

Happy seal :)

Sad seal :( 
hehe

Charlotte also lost interest pretty quickly after she spotted some other girls from her kindergarten class!

They were happy to just jump off the sand dunes :)

Ps. If you haven't already seen them, check out these posts by Mandy @ A Sorta Fairytale and Jess @ IROCKSOWHAT about watermarking your images. I've started to put my watermark closer to the subject, which I don't like but there are some creepers out there! Plus it's nice to get some credit if your pictures end up on Pinterest :D

Learning to Ride...

Charlotte is probably a little bit late to the whole riding without training wheels deal, but since she had her broken arm/dislocated elbow, she's been a bit spooked about getting hurt.
BUT, she's been saving money in what she calls her 'bike jar' (her reward money for good behaviour, good school work etc) and last weekend we took her to choose her bike after we got a glowing report from her kindergarten teacher on how she's doing at school :)


She decided on this Monster High bike and the next day we took her down to the waterfront so she could test it out. She did amazing! She took to it pretty much straight away, we were so proud :)
(I haven't mastered th3 art of running backwards with my camera so this one's a bit blurry, but look at her face! Her first proper ride without training wheels!)

She was soon doing laps around the waterfront park :)

A little help from Daddy to start off again..


She was pretty proud of herself, riding along bobbing her head side to side singing "This is so cool, I'm riding my bike, with no training wheels, la la la la.." hehe


After the waterfront we took her to the local netball courts, which is where practically everyone learns to ride, it's almost like the rules ;)
William was in 'fire pole' heaven, haha sliding down all the netball posts!
Now she just needs to master how to start off and how to use the brakes! At the moment she just jumps off when she's had enough :/
Thanks for stopping by xx
