Legos with Granddad

Granddad and Grandma arrived and within a very short time Cooper had Granddad help him make a very tall Lego tower, even taller than Ellie.

Old Gold Mine

On our way home, we stopped at a location of an old gold mine.  The kids loved walking (jumping) across the two suspended bridges and exploring the grounds. 

Not that Bird

While the girls were walking along the beach, Cooper and I made a race track for his stick cars in the sand. I noticed a Sea Gull land on the large log not too far away from us and thought it would make a great picture so I turned my attention to the bird.  At the same time, Cooper spotted the bird and thought it would be fun to try to catch it.  In the end, the picture isn’t quite what I expected but it is a funny reminder of our life at the moment!

Road Trip - Part 2

We did so many things over the two days.  We visited a very cool skate park, watched surfers and went on many walks. Cooper didn’t want to ride his balance bike, he just wanted to run around the skate park.  At the café, after telling him to sit still and stop playing many times, he fell of his chair head first.  He was consoled by a huge cuddle from Mum and some marshmallows.    

For the beach picture, he turned around because he didn’t want me to see the sand that he was going to throw in his hands!

Road Trip - Part 1

The four of us took a small road trip over a weekend to a great surf beach a few hours south.  It was a little cold to swim in the ocean, so we explored the beaches and parks.
