We've just come home from spending the weekend with Scott and Tania Graham and their boys. We took the kids out to ride their motorbikes on Saturday. The sun was shining, it was a beautiful day for this time of year. Tania and I took the dogs for a walk while the kids rode, but we lost Monty. Sadie and Kara came out of the bushes but we didn't see Monty; stupid dog. We spent ages looking for him when Tania decided to walk back and get the car while I stayed behind to look for him. She drove back to pick me up and tell me that Monty was already back with the others; grrrrr. Stupid Dog. We didn't even see him turn back.
We took the bikes back to the house and then went to the beach for a look and the kids and dogs could run around on the sand. It was late in the afternoon and the air was getting cold, but it didn't stop the kids running in and playing with the waves. The started just with their bare feet and pants rolled up, next thing Micayla was wet to her waist and then fell in up to her neck. That didn't stop her though, they were having a ball running in and out of the water fully clothed playing in the waves. The fun was instantly over when they got out and wanted to go home. They realised how cold they were and the tears started instantly. We stripped Micayla of her wet clothes and wrapped her in our jumpers and coats and put them all in the shower when we got home. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me so I can't share any photos with you. A real shame too cause they would've been great shots of them having fun all wet and fully clothed and the tears streaming down their faces for the aftershot. Micayla said she had fun playing in the water but it wasn't fun anymore when she got out.
We took the kids out again on their motorbikes before we left to come home to Melbourne and Micayla said "I don't want to go to the beach again, I'm not doing that again!" Micayla is really getting the hang of the motorbike now, she is really picking up a lot of speed. It won't be long and Bailey will be wanting to get on it. He was controlling the throttle all by himself while on the bike with Adrian. I think it will be a new 2 wheeler bike for his birthday so he gets his balance asap to get on the motorbike sooner rather than later.
On the way home we stopped off at Pakey Pets so the kids could choose some fish to put in the new aquarium. We got the standard school of Neons plus 2 albino cat fish.
