THE BEACH!!!!




Today we packed up for another adventure!

Leah packed a bag of books, word searches and things to keep her busy in the car ride. Sophia wanted to take her blanket, but I said I did not think the car ride would be that long. I had looked on the map, very briefly, and it looked like we were only going to be driving for about an inch! That would not be long at all.

We arrived at a park about 7 minutes and only 1 u-turn later! I think next time Leah will leave her bag of busy books at home! The girls played on the playground and Stas went exploring. We realized right over the hill was the beach!

The beach looks exactly like an Oregon beach, and let me tell you the water is about the same temperature! Brrrrr.. There is strong undertow like the Oregon coast, too.

Thank goodness the water was cold, because after watching Shark Week on Discovery Channel this Fall, Sophia had told us there were sharks off the coast of New Zealand. She would NOT be swimming in the water.

The girls jumps through little waves, dug holes, had a picnic and had a great time! Stas did some playing in the water, took a little snooze and buried both girls.

It was another lovely day in Dunedin.

We were in Bandon yesterday, and I swear it was the same beach!
