The girls favourite place to play at Pelican Point is at "the chair". A rustic bench set on a pontoon on the sandy reef.
We spent a fair bit of time there recently, exploring the reef. In the afternoon the water is warm, the rockpools deep enough to swim in. Like a spa.
In the evening, we can see steam rising from the water as the night air cools.
In the morning a sea mist blurred the line between sea and sky on the horizon. The water was a little cooler as the tide rose during the night, bringing in the cold water from beyond the reef.
What a fabulous natural playground!
Sunday saw us head to Southend. Brett launched the boat and took Izzy out fishing. She caught two flathead, outfishing her Dad, and had a great time. Nothing made me happier and more proud seeing her ride in, sitting up on the bow.
Summer and I hung out on the beach. Summer exploring, and I taking too many photos, if there is such a thing.
The tide was out and gave us the opportunity to walk out on the reef. This was something new for the girls, it was awesome to experience it with them. I was nervous with my camera out there and chose my footing carefully!
It was pretty overcast all day, with a little late rain in the afternoon. After the rain, the clouds disappeared. By the time the sun was out in the blue sky, we were on our way home. It was considerably warmer in town. We really had four seasons in one day.
