Typical December day...

I am still not comfortable using words like December, Christmas, Hot and the Beach in the same sentence! It is the 10th of December and it is stinking hot instead of freezing cold. I wonder how many years it will take before I can start to associate heat and Christmas??

Emily and Allie may be having the same issues with Christmas but they are loving the pool. This past weekend Allie had two friends over to swim and officially kick off the summer holidays!

They swam and swam and swam...

The next day we all jumped in the car for a few hours at the beach. David took the new, smaller kayak to try out in the surf.

The Surf Life Saving (Lifeguards) were on patrol and the girls wanted a photo with them but were too afraid to ask so I snapped this one as they drove past....

Can't relax on the beach without a cold one! And yes you can have bottles on the beach here...

Even though it was overcast and not great weather we had a lot of fun anyway. I look for many more fun days at the beach.
