New Year's Eve

We spent New Year's Eve at the beach. It was a lovely warm day, we arrived at the beach just after 4pm. We had planned to leave home ealier but it just took so long to get ready these days, with all the kids stuff we had to have with us. Simon set up the new beach tent then took Lara to play while I looked after Sam. We swapped an hour later, I played with Lara at the beach while Simon had a rest in the tent. The sea breeze was quite strong, the afternoon sun warm but not unbearable like the mid-day sun. Sam had a little sleep. We had fish'n' chips and burger, another little play before we headed home at around 7pm. People started to arrive while we were packing up to leave. There were various activities and performaces on at the beach to celebrate the new year. Lara and I danced to the beat of drums feeling very festive. Having two young kids, we couldn't stay. The aim is to not spend a long time at the beach each time but go frquently.

Lara was of course unhappy to leave, she loved the beach and could spend the whole day there.
