Boxing Day 2009

Nieces and nephews, sun and "surf"

Most of the photos were taken at Snug Beach on our regular Boxing Day picnic. It was actually warm enough to swim, and the nieces and nephews had fun

The triplets' reactions to water (in fact, by the end of the day, they'd all become quite wet):

Hmm ... this isn't so bad.

Let me at it!

What D doesn't realise yet is that water fights are supposed to involve other people.

Preparation.

Delivery.

After-effects.

T was busy mastering the art of the boogey board in the wild surf conditions.

Waiting for the big wave.

And some miscellaneous photos ...

Close range waterfighting.

Taking crocs for a swim.

One of my cool and gorgeous nieces.

Her cool and gorgeous cousin.

Dud cracker: There was meant to be an
earth-shattering KABOOM.

Although the water was (relatively) warm it was quite cool sitting on
the beach and so it made sense to be rugged up.

B is about to teach D about proper waterfights.
