Making Waves

Labour Weekend at Long Bay

Originally published 24 October 2016

The sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue and cloudless; what's the best thing to do savour it? Daddy and I may have said stay inside and read a book, but since it's been raining so much this winter we thought we'd do something even more fun - an early morning walk along the beach.

So we hurriedly got ready and went up to Long Bay. It's a lovely, long stretch of sand that's perfect for riding my bike along or splashing among the waves. I was having a great time, but the longer I splashed about I became just a little less careful...

You'll notice how as soon as I kissed the sand both parents rushed into action to help; Mummy kept filming me and Daddy laughed heartedly behind her. Not that it worried me though, I just got straight back up and splashed back into the sea again.

It was a plan that none of us quite thought through properly thought, because after I'd finished and we were heading back towards the car again I started feeling cold and a bit miserable.

A rub down with a towel and a quick change of clothes back at the car, and I was all happy again. And looking forward to more fun trips to the beach when summer arrives.
