River Beach

This is our beautiful River Beach.

Tuesday 17th we decided to pack some things so that we could go to the river beach. As the name suggests its a beach at our local river, Evans River. It’s best to go at low tide when you can almost walk across the whole river bottom and great for catching yabbies using a yabbie pump, which we’ve promised to get the kids. Unfortunately we just missed low-tide by going there at 5. If we had gone an hour earlier we would’ve been able to walk quite a long way out on the sandy flats. We got our swimmers on, took towels, put on our thongs and of course took the baby bjorn too and then we were off on the long 3 minute drive to pick up Dave.
We picked up Dave a little late from work. It was 5:10pm, still light outside and he was finished for the day!! What a change of lifestyle for us! We drove down to the beach, oh, a long 2 minutes drive from Dave’s work, parked, got Isabella sorted in the baby carrier and then had a wonderful walk along the sand.

The kids loved running along the beach and of course Sammy managed to get her clothes wet, jumping in the shallow water. It was a bit too windy and cold for them to swim on this day and a bit awkward with Isabella in the carrier, she started gasping for breath from the wind and had to be covered up. Josh and Sammy had a great time keeping her entertained by playing peek-a-boo, which she loved. She is always in total awe of them and everything they can do. She loves watching her big brother and sister do anything and today was no different.

Hey Daddy you surprised me!

We went back a couple more times during the week and also for a swim at main beach with Josh and Sammy’s new friends, Patrick and Izabelle. No photos though.
