Day at Farmie ...

So today we headed out to Farm Beach ...

a little bit of kayaking ...

a little bit of playing on the anchored pretzel ...

time with Auntie K ...

WT ... loved the kayak and spent nearly all of the time playing on it or with it ...

just lots of fun generally ...

A great day at the beach and the older boys / men caught enough fish for tea :-)

Yesterday's fun ...

This dozen oysters ...

 was polished off by our 11 year old son for lunch yesterday!!

Lachlan had some fun on the newly named "pretzel" (well it looks more like a pretzel that a donut or a biscuit!!)

The Rohan and Lachlan had a go ...

Laughing a lot at the hairstyle change for Rohan ... came out all spikey!!

At Coffins ...

Oh my goodness at those blue eyes :-)

Some of the cousins feeding the seagulls ...

One of my gorgeous sisters and one of her beautiful sons ...

And tomorrow I will get photos of Lachlan and our nephew Bailey :-) because they missed out today :-)

I love this smile ...

At the beach ...

A few photos from our time at the beach so far ...

A last minute visit from my sister and niece and nephew ... lots of laughs and kayaking and game playing :-)

Our first trip out in the boat to the kids' favourite spot ... Seven Mile Beach ...

A bit of sand castle building ...

and biscuiting ...

Then yesterdays forecast was 44 degrees so we headed out to Farmie and it was sensational out there ...

and some hot dogging ... lots of laughs were had with this ...

and Rohan and Hannah were very brave and had a go too ...

It was a great afternoon and then BBQ tea and drinks with friends when we got back from the beach :-)

Today my other sister and her family arrive which will be more fun :-)

Rohan is 8 ...

We had a trip to Port Lincoln to buy Rohan's birthday present ... a new bike and then lunch, a little swim, a trip to Kmart to spend a little bit of his birthday money, an icecream at Wendy's and then home.

Lately the older boys groan about me setting up the mini tripod and self timer to take the "cake photo" but I think this one is pretty good :-)

And our boy cutting his cake :-)

New Year's Day ...

So on New Year's day we had a little rest and then met some friends out at Point Drummond ...

Hannah ...

The beautiful beach with only 2 other people on the whole beach that were a long way away :-)

Three of the girls and I went for a long walk past the two people and then saw something in the distance that turned out to be this!! Carted it home for the kids to use in the pool :-)

After tea on the beach we headed home before it got too dark ...

A few photos of Jack as we packed up ...

And Lachlan ...

Rohan was there too but didn't get in the snaps :-)

A great spot and our second year in a row of going there on New Year's day :-)
