Hot Weekend

We all went on a family picnic to Silver Sands (near Aldinga) just 30 minute's drive down the coast. The sausages cooked on the Barbi were very popular even in all that heat. Grandad had plenty of practice wicket keeping and Sophie is pretty good for 7! Emily prefers to potter around collecting shells (or eating cheesy balls)

It is a beautiful beach and you can drive the cars right on to the sand, set up BBQs and have a great day out. By the time we left some 4 hours later there were hundeds of cars - still plenty of room for everyone. It was the last weekend of the long Summer break as the kids go back to school next week (after Australia Day on the 26th)
The new shelter ($30 in Bunnings) was just what we needed for protection and shelter.

We played cricket and tennis, swam and generally lazed about. The temperature reached a sizzlin 34 but the sea breeze made it bearable. Only a couple of pink spots when we missed with the factor 30!
