Holiday and Heatwave

We have just had a great week away at Bridport (thanks Collette), we had planned our week away a couple of months back and leading up to it we were a little concerned about the weather .... but no worries....
The weather was extreme and so the only place to be was in the water - it was beautiful. We spent every day at the beach swimming and playing and just enjoying the break.
While we were in Bridport Jason caught up with an old friend - Peter Murphy - they were best friends at school and spent most of their summers at Bridport together.... but haven't seen much of each other over the past 15 years. Peter took Jason and the boys out on his boat fishing twice - Nathan absolutely loved it!! He also took them out on the ski bob.....
Henry creating in the sand...
Aneika and Katie-Lynne trying to stay off the HOT sand....

Jakob spent most of every day in the water and tried to get his siblings to do the same!!

Jakob standing in a hole and Nathan feeling really tall. Maybe he will catch up to Jakob in height in a few years....
Lilly just floating around....

Nathan caught the biggest fish and was very proud of it. And it tasted great!! Thanks Nathan.

Katie-Lynne cool and wet...

At Christmas Dion and Kay bought the boys these blow up things called 'belly bumpers', which you blow up and wear and crash into each other. We decided to take them to the beach and they were great for floating in and just relaxing.....

Henry trying to build a wall before the tide came in....

Jason doing his 'dad' thing and staying out of the sun and relaxing.....

Katie-Lynne discovered that flippers with the boogie board make you go REALLY fast....

Nathan and Henry doing what comes best when you're all swum out.... playing on the PS2...
