A Day at the Beach

 Ahh, the beach. Took a quick day trip with friends over the break to breathe in some coastal air.

Couldn't leave without stopping by our favorite, "Pebbly Beach" where we were greeted by a variety of friendly parrots.


Summer scrunched down in distress whenever they landed on her head, but the kids could've stayed in the parking lot another hour I'm sure.

 Down the path there opens up this beautiful stretch of shoreline where mild-mannered, wild kangaroos live beach-side.



(Being there sorta makes me feel like any minute I'm going to see giant Teletubbies peek out and dance around those green rolling hills. So idyllic.)

 

(Gotta love taking pics of cute Sum-Sum in her oversized "emergency" outfit. She got carsick on the winding mountain roads to the coast...)

 

See the joeys peeking out of some of these pouches??

This had to be an old grandpa roo. Big, bony and real slow.

 Of course the boys were too busy sword fighting in the waves to be distracted by the wildlife. :)
