We had a great weekend, on Saturday we took Abi swimming. We have started her at swimming classes every Saturday morning at 9am. The lesson is for half an hour and she swims with 2 other little girls about the same age as her. The teacher is amazing as she manages to handle 3 children who essentially are not able to swim yet. Abi has an absolute ball, so excited and they clap for each other – its too cute to watch. The rest of the day was spent doing grocery shopping and gardening.

While Guy was down at the pool he looked up and saw what he thought was a snake in the tree. It turned out to be a snake skin – quite a long one. Abi took it to nursery for ‘show and tell’ and it was a big hit! Her kindy teacher wanted to keep it to show the other children and we have since ’donated’ it to the kindy. Scary to think that the snake is still somewhere in our garden!
Sunday we went to the Gold Coast.

I’ve never been to the Gold Coast and Guy has only been there for an interview. It was a long drive to Coolangatta, but it is very beautiful there. We spent some time on the beach, Abi simply loves playing in the sand and the water and had loads of fun chasing seagulls. The water was too cold for us – but there were others swimming and Abi got wet in the pools Guy dug for her. We had a simple sandwich and strawberries picnic and then took a slow drive back up the Gold Coast to see the other beaches.
They all look nice – still so much to explore!
