This was a Sunday, right? We left home at 8:15am, both kids lathered with squillion+ sunscreen. Not hard to find a free car park at that time. We left for the return trip home about 11:45. Perfect. The crowds were beginning to swell, the heat was beginning to sting, and we only had two swimming nappies! Two other families joined us, six little girls in total: Gracie, and Tilda, Annabel and Eleanor, Alannah and Juliet. Lanuages covered were French, Dutch, Swedish, and English. It was a great morning. The older girls entertained each other, and the two "babies" were left to do their own thing without being over-ridden by big-sister. Mummies and Daddies chatted, sipped coffee, and exercised the eyes in the back of their head. Such a lovely family beach. Hardly anyone aged between 12 and 30. I suspect they were all down at somewhere like Coogee. |

The little ones look happy. Shows how much I know about kids, I Have never heard of swimming nappies.
I know a fair bit about kids, but only heard of swimming nappies when I became a grandmother.
Sounds like a great group. I didn't think it is warm enough yet to swim. Looks perfect for little ones. Yep I know about swimming nappies , I mean diapers for my American grandson.
Funny thing is just a week or so after this post I heard talk of swimming nappies again. Isn't that just the way when you learn a new word.
