It was a stunning day today and the water is really quite warm, so we got to spend lots of time playing in the breakers, which all of the children are enjoying. 

Ads likes to really dig in to get the full beach sand experience. 

Watching the crowds 

Grace and Eli stayed up late to go and see the stars. I remember the clear nights and brilliant view of the Milky Way from our visits here as a child and wanted to share the experience with them. We had fun, but it just wasn’t dark enough to see the stars clearly. This morning after our beach trip Grace says she wants to nap, and nap she did! For Miss Grace, this is highly unusual behaviour, and she even said she enjoyed it and wanted to nap again another day. Clearly the beach fun is taking it out of her.
