Beach Birthday

Today we all headed to Hawley Beach to celebrate Alex's 1st birthday!! I can't believe that he is one already! The year has gone so fast. It ended up being a beautiful day and we spent about 6 hours enjoying the sun.


There was the usual water fights. It was so cute seeing Chloe trying to get Aaron.



It was actually Kobe's first time at the beach. We weren't sure how he was going to like it, but he loved it!

He wasn't too sure about the colder water, and started to grizzle when we put his toes in.


He much preferred the nice warm water in the rock pools. He was having the best time splashing away in them.


I love it when all the cousins get together. They love playing with each other.

Maddi grabbed hold of Jay's hand. She loved checking out all the little crabs.


Poor Becky was really tired and about ready to pop - she is due next week and is looking forward to it all being over.

Eden brought his boat along and took some of us out for a spin.

I just about freaked out as it was a lot rougher than I expected! He thought it was hilarious, so would go over even more waves just to stir me. Here he is telling me 'this is nothing - at Coles Bay we had these huge waves!'.

Jay thought it was awesome.

For lunch we got some hot chips and drinks. It was a really nice way to celebrate a birthday. Alex is lucky he has it in the Summer time.

He dived straight into is cake!

It was nice that he could have most of his family all with him at the beach at once.

  3. Yep! Poor Becky looked really uncomfortable today."If she had laid down on the sand, we would have had to roll her out to sea.....Just kidding>
    Eden looks like he is telling a great fisherman's tale.
    Jae was really terrific with all his little cousins, and it was lovely to see all the little gals run around exploring together, and holding hands. It just seems to come naturally to them.
    I was really surprised about how good all the little men were so happy all day, especially with all the face plants in the sand.
    As usual crazy Harri spent all his day in the water, even though he was shaking with the cold.
    A very good day for everyone, especially our little birthday boy Alex.
    Love Mum xxx

  4. Nice shots. Thankyou for all coming out, even if it wasn't as hot as Launnie! I'm most dissapointed that you didn't get a shot of that black snake.
