Boulders and the penguins

Well with Inge and Martin and the fam out, we needed to take the kids to the beach to show them what a real beach is like. Apparently Kiara had nearly drowned at a friend's house when she jumped into a pool and got such a shock by the temperature - she was only used to heated pools! Well Boulders past Simonstown certainly wasnt't heated, but it was the real thing and the kids got to make sandcastles, chase the wildlife and eat sand - like all little kids should!

The rental... with no aircon. What a crime!

So Mart and Kiara - he's using her to hide his tummy. Don't be fooled - he has a spare tyre like mine.

And Inge and Jake. He's a naughty little monster if ever there was one. I'd say he'll be trouble when he's older.

And the Valkenburg boys whacked the stuffing out of a tennis ball or two. Beach bats. Sigh, I missed that.

The kids got to wander around a bit and check out the wildlife. Jake went chasing penguins and Jarrod (Megan - my cousin - her child) checked out a dassie.

The nice thing about this beach is that, even though it is a pay beach, you get to get really close to the penguins. Like this little guy.

And just in case you thought there were only a handful... think again.

Kiara really put her foot in it...

Kiara a bit scared of the chilly water... toughen up girl.

Jake the adventurer.

A parting shot as we left...
