albany...

We had a lovely few days in Albany escaping the heat in Perth last week...so lots of photos to follow...and memories to record...

We enjoyed the wild seas after tea...Even when the waves knocked Evangeline over...We spent time building sand castles... And collecting shellsChasing seagulls...a favourite two year old pass time...Playing in playgrounds...Morganne headed for this slide and was playing at the bottom..so we took no notice thinking there was no way she could go up...and we turn around a few seconds later and she had walked up the slide and was at the top...so I had to go and get her!Celebrating Australia Day...Going on a paddle boat...which E has been asking to do for months....
Morganne finally decided she like paddling in water...Evangeline was very encouraging and so pleased when she did! And Morganne decided that she liked swinging!Looking at the Amity one evening as it is not roped off and open to the public....Evangeline was sure there was pirate treasure in the hold...I remember visiting this as a childGoing to the animal farm...Fish and chips on the beachA bit of metal detecting...a retired couple were on the beach one night and let the kids join in...E was so excited when they found 50cVisiting historic Strawberry Hill farm...I remember visiting this as a kids too...beautiful gardens...Walking out to the jetty...Making food to catch a fish...And just enjoying ourselves...All good family time...me, mum and the girls...Ben is home in two days...yay....Lissy
