Free Play On The Beach

We kind of stay away from the beach when the weather warms up - too many people for our children to cope with.  But today was PERFECT for a visit to one of our wonderful beaches.

One of the boys decided to plough a bit of beach, and sow seed (dry sand).

While his brother finished sowing the seed, he made a harrow to cover the seed.

Some beautiful beach finds.

 The tide goes out a LOOOONNNNNGGG way on this beach.  I love the freedom of the children being just that little bit older so I don't need to be right beside them the whole time.   The youngest of the "away" crew was 6 years old - the oldest is 14.   I kept the toddler with me!

And a publicity shot with the new books!
