 The most magical morning on the bay. These photos don't quite do it justice! I peeked out of the tent and knew it was going to be special. Lured the three boys out of bed and down to look at the calm waters. It was hard to see where the sea finished and the sky began. A huge stingray came swimming past and close by and I just wanted to bottle it all up! Amazing! 

 























The boys became very accustomed to their morning cereal and view! What a life! We had a slow breakfast and then began pack up. Again, dream conditions to pack up in and we felt lucky to have the trailer to chuck everything in to rather than have to tetris the car boot. The boys were such incredible travellers - helping out and wandering around. Took about two and a half hours (and some emergency toys and snacks I'd hid in the glove box in case of emergency) but we finally got there! One final swim for Toddy and we headed to say bye to Nez and the boys before hitting the road.

Sunday morning on the bay and this view just doesn't get old!! We decided to stay an extra night ..but it was home time for the Rayners so we enjoyed our final morning together before they hit the road! 




























After a morning beach play and some snacks we farewelled the Rayners and made our way to see the cousins for a bit! 












































We finished the day with a quick afternoon at camp, swims, easy dinner of sausages and soaking up the last of this incredible weather!

Another beautiful day in paradise! I loved the mornings when camping .. the boys were so excited to see each other after a night apart ...fixing them bowls of cereal and putting the kettle on. Toddy cooking up bacon and brewing coffee. Layers of clothes slowly getting peeled off as the sun came higher in the sky. 
We decided to have a "home" day and hang out at the beach. The big kids were so confident in the water and the littles loved digging and playing with the buckets and shovels. In the afternoon we split up for a bit of a drive to let the little ones rest. Fish and chips back at camp for dinner and the most beautiful twilight where the boys wrestled on the sand!
