Simple Pleasures

We took the boys to the Kite Festival on the weekend. I'll post pictures of that later but I wanted to share the boys exciting finds from their play on the beach with everyone. Wolf took the boys down onto the beach and I stayed on the grass with my sore toe, when they showed no signs of returning to me I went down to join them. Lion found some very precious seaweed. He was holding it like it was made of the finest silk, it was so lovely and although it was strewn along the whole beach like a great long scarf, he felt that only this particular handful was worthy of presenting to mummy. I'm the most spoilt mummy on earth!

Not to be outdone, Dragon needed to present mummy with a gift. Driftwood. It aparently was a very special piece of driftwood. He was sooooo excited about it and kept dropping it because he was too excited to hold onto it properly. It is actually quite a large piece of driftwood for this beach.

So what beach are they playing on?? It's one of the local "gem's" that the council brags about and goes on all our tourist stuff. It really is quite a lovely beach compared to what it once was (I would call it a man-made beach but the council insists they just gave nature a helping hand) , there is a free waterpark, plenty of cafe's, family friendly dining, parks, play equipment, stretches and stretches of beach, regular shark and crocodile patrols and vinegar and stinger nets in the stinger season! Fancy a North Queensland holiday???
