Coles first beach - Riverton -13th Jan 07

On a sunny day you need to be at a beach..... and kids love beaches, so we went to Riverton on the first sunny day that came along, Jason declined to come due to him being ill, but we went in two cars as there still wasn't enough room for us all (well there was the boot - but that would be illegal! and Jordon wouldnt fit in it - kidding!!)

We parked on the beach


Cole took one look at the water and set off.......

With Rachel trying to stop him going into the water before we had the chance to change him into his swim gear.... She didn't have much luck, and he was soaked in minutes.




Uncle Jordon helped him paddle, but that wasn't enough for Cole and he was soon trying to dive into the waves.....



We finally got him out for long enough to change him and get his bucket and spade out....

Rachel showing Cole how castle making is done!

Heres a rare pic of me and Cole!

Cole wanted to go explore some more, rather than build sandcastles, although he tasted enough of the sand!

The men chilled with a beer, can you see the steam rising in the background? it was hot, and the cooler water on the beach was creating these wisps of steam as the tide went out.

We had lunch at the cafe across from the beach, Nice food, and Rachel fell in love with their Hot Chocolates, it came with marshmallows and a long stick of chocolate on top to swirl in it...YUM is all she could say, and she even went back for another before she went home.
