Boxing Day


Henry got a boogie board from Santa for Christmas and was super keen to try it out. We headed on down to Newcastle Beach in the late afternoon for a picnic dinner on the beach and to watch Henry catch his first wave.


Under the watchful eye of Michael, Henry rode in a number of small waves back to the beach. He loved it and I can see us spending more time at the beach this summer.



Milly is not a fan of the surf. She runs a mile screaming if a wave comes within 20 metres of her. She is nonetheless happy to explore rockpools, make sandcastles and paddle in the water if someone is holding her hand and the water barely covers her feet.


Buster enjoyed the picnic sitting on Grandad Peter's knee and loved watching all the happenings at the beach. Just as we were leaving we spotted a pod of dolphins at sea, swimming and jumping and doing what dolphins do.
