Beach Weekend

Last weekend, Dad had a full weekend off. So, a plan was hatched to go to the beach. As soon as he finished work, he went to get a rental car and everyone piled aboard. It was about 10:00pm when they left home and they didn't arrive at the bed-&-breakfast place until 11:30ish.

Both Craig and Graham had a nap in the car so that meant they were both temporarily full of beans when they got upstairs to the room. Graham decided to help unpack.

Unpacking Graham-style means throwing clothes out of the bag onto the floor. He was very busy for quite a while.

Surprisingly, Craig was content to just put on his pajamas and lie on his bed!

Staying up late meant a late start the next morning. The sun was blazing hot and the sand at the top of the beach was scalding hot. But, that didn't matter to the boys. Playing in the sand at the water's edge was heaps of fun. In the background is the tent that Uncle Dean and Aunty Suprana gave Craig a few years back. It's great for beach trips. :)

Graham was a bit concerned about Dad's engineering skills because the tiny sand wall between Graham and the waves didn't stop him getting splashed in the face once or twice.

You can see how the center of the wall had been washed away. No wonder he was worried.

Graham's Mum saved the boy by taking him back to the shade in the tent.

After a bath the two boys played back in the room while the midday sun blazed away.

Unfortunately, Dad forgot to take the camera to the beach in the afternoon. For the first time since he can remember Baishawan had proper waves!! The only other picture that was taken was of Craig when he had almost finished his dessert after dinner. There's nothing like a waffle to put a smile on his face.
