The runaway beach babe




One of the positive things about living in Sydney is that we are reasonably close to many beautiful beaches. The fact that it's almost always too cold too swim (well, for me anyway) is beside the point! Now that we are coming into summer we are looking forward to more trips to the beach and watching Elizabeth enjoy exploring and discovering new things there. On Saturday we went to Bronte Beach to celebrate a friend's 30th birthday and I went again on Monday with some girls from college.


If I thought going to the beach was exhausting before it is even more exhausting now with a runaway toddler! The Saturday trip was spent chasing Elizabeth as she strode quite determinedly (notice the swinging arms in the photos) towards the water taps, picking her up, bringing her back to the party and then chasing her again!


The Monday was more relaxing as Elizabeth didn't like the feel of sand so she just stuck on the picnic blanket for the first half! However, after a bit of convincing she realised that she did like sand after all and tried to run through it, not quite understanding why all of a sudden the sand was up to her knees and she could no longer move!


We are looking forward to our Queensland beach trips over summer........
