Cape Capers

Firstly, great to see you back online, Bec. Hope you're back to 110% health very soon. Your Sydney Symphony/Rocks market/Italian dinner/Walk through the Botanic Gardens outing sounded very special indeed. I'm glad it wasn't a date, or else Mel might be very jealous ("when was the last time YOU took me to the symphony!").

Today we managed another drive down to Cape Patterson. For the past couple of days, Mel had been threatening to spend Monday working from home, but at about 9:30 morning she gave in and agreed to a trip to the beach with Jessica & Jersey & I instead. We were able to get everything ready and packed in just over an hour (a new record!) and we took off to spend a few hours by the sea. Being a Monday, we pretty much had the beach to ourselves; hard to believe given the lovely day and the stunning scenery. Jessica had a fantastic time: amazing to think it was only her second time at the beach (and the second time this month - how extravagant!). She crawled for miles and would stop every little while to excavate, yell something, then move on again. This time around she wasn't so intent on eating the sand...just throwing handfuls of it into the air with great enthusiasm. She also crawled down to the waterline and enjoyed the tide lapping around her - without any fear whatsoever.

We had the cameras with us - of course - and I'll try to upload a short, unedited clip just to show you Jessica's excavation exploits. I may post another one of Jessica in the water, in the next few days...

Looks like a lot of fun! The kids wanted to watch it three times, and are asking when we are going to the beach again...
