Day 15 - Sandcastles

Today was the first day of hopefully many spent at the beach this week.

The girls happily played in the sand building sandcastles and holes in the sand for Shane to bury Ava in, while the boys played in the surf with their boogie boards. Andrew and Austin loved playing in the surf with Sam.

Once we said goodbye to Jenny, Sam and the kids we went for a walk along the beach and built some more sandcastles on the rocks while Shane hunted along the rocks for some snails.

The girls occasionally dipped their toes in the water, hopefully the more we go to the beach the more confident they are in the water.

Day 14 - We're going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo...

Today marked the first day of our holidays. We packed up the car and headed off for our holiday accompanied for the weekend with Jenny, Sam, Austin, Andrew and Madison. Our first stop was Malua Bay, unfortunately the weather wasn't beach weather so we changed direction and headed for Mogo Zoo.

Mogo Zoo is a beautiful zoo which we have visited on a number of occasions. The girls loved roaming around looking at the animals. Jenny fed the deer and the kids loved watching the monkey's running around. Of course my favourite were the giraffes, I thought this was a rather cute picture with the baby giraffe sitting down and the male giraffe toying with the crowd.
