Beach Fun with Daddy

BritMumInNZ

This Labour Weekend the girls delighted in having an extra day with their Daddy. The weather was beautiful and Sunday morning was spent at Lyall Bay Beach with Daddy creating a sand airplane for the girls. Whilst Sophie and I took a rest from flying, to refuel (with flufflies and coffees), Dan and Charlotte rocketed to space, where they collected various moon rocks.

It’s always a surprise to walk on the beach and find the remains of someone else’s creation. I’ve never seen an airplane, complete with cockpit and seats for a pilot and co-pilot before, but I’ve seen some beautiful sand sculptures of ‘Taniwha‘, classic sand castles and, my personal favourite, a driftwood wig-wam. 

In the evening we rolled out the BBQ and delighted in sitting together outside. We really felt like we were on holiday and thankfully the good weather lasted Monday and Tuesday night so we could continue to dine al fresco.

  1. You guys are just stunningly beautiful, honest you make me smile so much. The most amazing sand sculpture I have seen was a memorial picture of someone, sadly half of it was washing away but it was thought provoking and stunning. I love you all xxx

  2. I am a usually cynical and tired older man – well past having to look after relationships and/or children. I stumbled across your blog because of a link to a photo sent to me by a friend and I just have to tell you how blessed you are to have such a beautiful family unit and how much I have appreciated being able to share your lives through your photo galleries.

    One or both of you has the most wonderful eye for this beautiful city we live in. Some of your harbour and coast photos are just stunning and deserve a wider audience.

    You brought a broad smile to my face and even a small tear to the eye this morning … I wish you every success and a lifetime of contentment.

    Take care of each other.
