Drawings in the sand

Posted on June 19, 2010 by BritMumInNZ

At low tide the wet, flat sand of Lyall Bay makes a welcome canvas.

Sophie delighted in writing messages of love and mastered drawing hearts (a little something she’s been working on).

Charlotte drew pictures and made trails (with maths questions!) for me to follow.

They both asked for me to take a photograph and send a picture to their grandparents. I love that they asked me to do this.
