And she was full of questions about how it became black.
Ella-Rose was initially cold in the water so spent some of the afternoon snuggled up in my jacket.
Later on in the afternoon we couldn't pull her out of the water, she loved it.
The boys and Tane waited for high tide so they could jump off the bridge. Josh and Tane jumped a few times but Joseph thought he would wait till next time - (because by then he would be taller and the drop would therefore be less - according to him). But he still enjoyed hanging on the edge of the bridge with his Dad as and still felt pretty brave about that.
Joshua also had fun creating a sand dam on the beach to prevent water from high-tide returning back to the estuary.
I know it looks like they are playing in mud, but it is black sand honest!
I tried to keep little Lily in the shade as much as possible, but that didn't stop her from smiling a lot. But it is so difficult to catch her smiles on camera. She smiles, I point the camera, she thinks I've gone and stops smiling... and this just repeats itself over and over till I have about a hundred half smiling photos. So here are the best ones.
She is such a little cutie... and seems so much older than she was when she was born nearly 4 months ago.
After exhausting ourselves silly and working up a big appetite... we got wind of a rumour that there was a tsunami warning due to an earthquake in the Solomon Islands. Well, we had been at the beach for about 6 hours and our rumbling tummies were craving some junk food, so it was time to depart. But of course we had to take a detour to Manu Bay so Tane could goggle at the surf. After a while I asked him whether he wanted to come home with is or hitch a ride home... I think he got the message, as he was getting hungry too.
I think you could say, a good time was had by all.
