Bethia and the Boys Visit - Day 3

Sunday 21st August

We headed to Tannum Sands for a brunch/lunch gathering....  Cat and her boys came to meet up with us...

We had a fantastic day and the kids ran riot making the most of the fantastic weather and great play equipment....


It is IMPOSSIBLE to get a picture of these four all looking at the camera ..... IMPOSSIBLE!
(but that didn't stop me trying!)



Tiny & Blake dressed as twins again... *grin*
(aren't they just the cutest??)


Rob at the BBQ again....


Bethia & Rob.... 
(the BBQ photo is becoming a common theme - I'll have to make sure I always get this pic... it will be expected now!) 


Bailey


This is Blake's idea of looking at the camera and smiling...


The slide is always a favourite of any 2yr old!


Talon enjoying the spinny seat thing....


Jade & Tiny on the see-saw



Blaze


Greg turned up to spend a little time... basically the kids saw him for about a minute before they all decided it was time to head down to the beach and swim....  (and yes, 20mins before all of this - we were wearing jumpers! - kids are NUTS!)


Blake & Greg


Where we stopped to play was fantastic... basically no waves so the kids were quite happy to just run in and out of the water....



King Blake!


3 out of 7 kids....  Tiny was playing up on the sand by this stage


Oh yeah, there he is!


It's not a gathering without a photo of Talon crying!
(I'll have to start putting these all in an album for Cat to print for his 21st)


Frank arrived to say hi too....


Blake (my chilly bubby) wasn't in the water too long before his lip was quivering and he wanted out....


Bailey was on a search for seashells with Jade....


Tom happily playing in the sand....


a Sandy Blake....


Tiny escaped down the beach... Tom went and got him back...


The wind was really blowing Tiny's hair around - I was hoping that you'd be able to notice it more in the photo - but he's still cute!


Jumping the HUGE waves.... :)


Back at the BBQ area - the kids washed off in the puddle under the tap... rather than having cold showers....


Blake ventured onto the flying fox....  he thought it was fantastic.... (Jade is dragging him back to the start.... I was too busy with my fingers in my mouth fretting as he was going down to get a decent photo)




Tom loved the flying fox too....


not afraid of the big clunk at the other end either....


Talon's turn...


Tiny up a tree....


Tiny down a slide.... head first.... and then just chilling - upside down!


and this is how you climb OFF a slide....


The other kids were all playing under the castle - except for Blake who thought the spiral climber was worth a lot of attention....


A sandy and salty Jade...


Blake now under the castle too...


Blaze


Tom getting ready to drop onto the slide....


Tiny was on the swing - and Blake wanted to push him....
Tiny wasn't overly impressed about this...


That didn't stop Blake...


how high can you go?!?!?


Tom happily swings himself.....


We didn't leave the beach until 2:30 or so... So we didn't get Blake down for a sleep.. Tiny slept most of the drive home... we let the kids have a fairly quiet afternoon and then got them to bed by 6:30 - at which point Bethia and Rob headed to the movies to watch the new Planet of the Apes movie which they enjoyed... (although I think it was more for the popcorn and maltesers.... which I might add they didn't bring any home for me!!!!!!)    

I was happily asleep before they got home and the kids slept brilliantly.... was another fantastic day with family and friends :)
