We started the day with a BBQ breakfast and then a wander along the boardwalk up to the lookout on the beach. We then sat on the beach while the youngest among us swam around pretending to be a whale for a happy 45 mins.
Lunch today was a 15 min drive away at Hamelin Bay Winery. The other adults were able to do wine tasting and the kids and I took advantage of having phone reception so I could check some emails and they could play Roblox/chat to their friends. The winery was gorgeous and we left with 4 bottles and lots of positive comments about the food.
After some early afternoon quiet time (and a replacement bath mat because holy crap do kids bring a lot of sand inside haha) we wandered back to the beach, this time with the esky and my beach tent ready for its first use. The beach tent was an epic fail but the kids had a great time making sand castles and swimming for hours and my niece (who is 12) basically asserted herself as the “stingray whisperer” and all the stingrays were following her up and down the beach. She named them all…. stingy, stingy junior, Ray-Ray, stingarette….and so on.
Dinner tonight was sausages (on the BBQ again) and the game of choice was “game of life” with B winning.
