what today was about
Although it’s October the weather is getting quite nice again. So off we went up the coast for a day at the beach.
Naturally, it was about 15 seconds between this photo being taken and both of them falling in and getting completely wet.
A very pleasant day was had, not least because extra help, in the form of their idolised older cousin, was available to divert the girls from boredom when all their parents wanted to do was relax. And have another glass of wine.
Eventually, the day drew to a close, and yes, wineglasses in hand we marvelled at the rather spectacular sunset.
That’s the South Island over there you know. With images like this, it’s no wonder the place is still my heart’s home even after all these years in Pig Island.
And tomorrow is another holiday.

They are.
Not sure why, but looks to me like in the first one, the walking gestures of the little one have some sort of “I’m going down in a second in spite of my firm step, you just watch” sign written all over them, hehe. ;)

Very nice! I did wonder if we should amble down to the beach to watch the sunset, but in the end, we were too busy.
Which beach BTW?

Raumati Beach, Llew.
Heck: we have some great video of the girls doing the old “squealing while the waves chase me back up the beach” thing… but it’s much too saccharine to post here. (As well as showing their faces…)

Great photo’s – the last one is quite spectacular. Do you Flickr them as well, be great to see them ‘out there’.

Yeah I should.
For some reason, the thought didn’t cross my mind.

What a great photo of the sunset.
You should post a link to a high res version too.
