Perfect day for the beach

Today has been  a perfect Summers day.  We woke up to blue skies and decided today looked like a day for the beach.  So we packed costumes and towels, food and buckets and off we went.

It was a lovely day.  First we did a bit of sunbathing and made some sand castles.  Here is Poppy with her Daddy:

Then a bit of digging, Rosie had great fun trying to copy her Sister:

Next came a spot of running, Poppy can run pretty quickly:

After all that exercise we were hungry so we had a rest and a little bit of a picnic:

We were like a proper English family at the beach, covered in sand:

After freshening up, we went to the tacky fairground.  Poppy decided she wanted to drive this pink truck.  It was the first time she had ever been on such a grown up ride.  It looked as though it went pretty quickly.  We were worried she might be scared but she wasn't.  She thought it was great fun:

 After a nap this afternoon, we then planted all of our plants. These are our strawberry plants:

We also have lettuces, tomatoes, peppers, sweetcorn, oh and of course pretty flowers including sunflowers and pansy's!

We are loving the sunshine and hoping the weather stays like this because it feels like Summer is here!
