Australia day

I love a bit of Australia day festivity. There is nothing better than to celebrate our great country and life style at the beach. The kids played beach soccer(football) and built this cool sand castle. I was not sure how to take the photo of Neptune here without standing on him.

This was the first beach day that seemed to set the mood for the whole week. We spent tues at a friends pool, wed at another beach, thur at the water hole, fri at another beach. Sat was a rest day then today we headed off to a little dog beach where we ran into friends and the dogs ran into some of their friends. I must say the dogs were not too keen for a swim if there was no stick to chase. Maybe the thought of a swim for funs sake does not enter a dogs mind. The water was really nice, and that is unusual for the sea down here. You have to be tough to grow up swimming in the waters down here. I was just talking about this with a friend from long ago who I used to go swimming with at our local beach as we grew up. We were mad and some times the water was so cold it would take our breath away and we had to jog up and down the beach to get any feeling back when we had finished. But it was fun.
