A bank holiday weekend, and so we wanted to go somewhere. I loved our trip to the beach a couple of weeks ago, so we went back.
We looked for another beach along the same bit of coast line, but nothing looked as nice as Silver Sands at Aberdour- the beach we’d found a couple of weeks ago.
What a great day.
Fish? I see no fish?
Anyone for limbo?
Hiiiiiiii!
Joe can fly aeroplanes too
sand-castle, moat, tide coming in. How sand castles are supposed to be.
On Sunday, we went to Blair Drummond Safari Park. It’s a really good day out- and in my mind, so much better than Edinburgh zoo. The safari park still has big animals like lions, zebras, rhinos, giraffes- then there’s a play park on top. Poppy loved it. Joe’s still a little young, but we are going back, oh yes. We took a picnic, and spent the day. When we left, there was still plenty to do, but we risked a mini melt-down from Poppy & Joe, deprived of their afternoon sleep. Pictures below.
Lions!
We tried to decide who would get out of the car to see if the lions were hungry
Today we took Poppy & Joe to the Beach. The weather was great, and we found a really good beach to go to. Silver Sands at Aberdour.
I expected it to be colder, so we all went wrapped up well. The weather report said it would be 10c, however, the beach was really well sheltered, and in the sun. When we arrived I felt a little overdressed in my coat, when the family next to us was in t-shirts.
We:
Paddled in the sea.
Explored rock-pools
Tried to fly a kite
Built sand-castles
Ate Sandwiches with real sand in
Dug holes in the sand
Ate ice cream
Ah, a proper day at the beach. I’ve still got sand in my hair.
There’s a lot of photos in this post, so rather than have them all load on the home page, I’ve moved them off to a separate entry. Follow the link below to see them..
Please don’t call social services, we do feed him.
Keeping his little sticky fingers out of the bin looks like it may be difficult. With Poppy, we had a problem with her putting things into the bin that she shouldn’t- such as Deird’s watch. We eventually had to hide the bin in the hall cupboard for a few months. We may have to do the same with Joe..
