Beach fun
We are back in the New Forest for a few days and as the sun is shining we thought we’d hit the beach. It was a beautiful day with glorious sunshine, sand and sea, what more could a child want?
The kids couldn’t wait to dive into the sea and splash around. I think this was the warmest, calmest day I’ve ever seen there. The sea was wonderfully warm and still.
We have spent many summer days on the beach, but this has to be the first time the kids have actually gone swimming in the sea properly. Normally, we just paddle and have a splash about, but it was just so wonderful, they went in completely and BB even dived under the water! I love watching them have fun in such a basic way, with nature.
They put rubber rings on and floated around, kicked and splashed and just enjoyed the new experience of fun in the ocean!
The children built sand castles, Granddad built a boat and the kids decorated it. They had fun collecting shells, so much so, that Boo managed to fill and entire bucket, which of course we had to bring home with us.
Next, I had to introduce the children to a spot of being buried in the sand, as I think it is one of those basic fun things, all kids need to experience. We dug a hole big enough for 3 children, they laid down and we covered them up with sand. They giggled and laughed their way through it. They thought it was hilarious. Then they had to struggle to free themselves, but they all managed it in the end before going back in the sea to wash the sand off.
On returning back to the caravan after our wonderful day on the beach, the girls extended their beach play, by looking at their collection of shells. They then made pictures out of the them. They made pictures of flowers, butterflies and even letters. It was a great way to bring the fun back with us at the end of the day.
Being buried in the sand is an essential part of the day!! Hope you had fun x
It was a fab day for all thanks
The pictures of your kids in the sand are just brilliant, especially the top one. Definitely one to frame and display!
It was definitely something I had to write about, to keep the memory of that picture alone
I love the photo of the children in the sand with just their heads showing – brilliant. Children are always guaranteed to have fun at the beach, there is so much fun and exploring to be had. Thanks for linking up and sharing your fun with Country Kids.
Thank you, we are looking forward to visiting Coombemill next week to enjoy some more beach fun I hope
I love the beach and you cannot beat being buried. Those smiles say it all. #countrykids
Thank you, the beach provides so much fun for everyone without even trying
Excellent! I thought you had photoshopped their heads on the sand – good work burying them! #countrykids
Thanks, it took a bit of work digging a hole big enough for 3 kids, but it was definitely worth it!
Sounds like a great day. Love the kids buried in sand. They all look cute and happy.
Have a great week ahead!
Thanks, the burying in the sand was the best part I think
Looks like such a lovely day. Sandcastles, shells and burying in the sand- perfect simple fun!
It was definitely a perfect day
