We are coming to an end of Anthony's first 6days off and I have to say it is far more relaxing than cramming all the things you have to do, want to do and some relax time into a weekend.
We checked out the beach at Cooke point which happens to be a clothing optional beach. It was deserted the day we went (bugger) and as there is the possibility of salt water crocs in the area I don't think there would be too many nudie beach goers there.
The kids collected enough beach treasure to start our own beach, watched hermit crabs and dared to get their feet wet-all while watching for crocs!!
The high tides bring in amazing shells and other treasures so it is a great place to get some sun while the kids fossick.
We capped off that day with the playground and icecream after which Eli slept for about 4hrs!! Although he did end up succumbing to the gastro bug that night :(
Scott and I went and hung out at the library together for his first book club meeting but it was postponed so we took the opportunity to have some one on one time while Anthony was at the park with the other two.
It is so rewarding for both Anthony and I to be able to truly share the parenting. Everyone is happier, less stressed and the kids are enjoying spending time with both of us.
We did have a great day planned today.... cartooning workshop followed by the pool but alas Linkin has been the next victim of the gastro :( so we are hanging out together while Anthony and Scott have some chill out time together at his cartooning workshop. We'll leave the pool for tomorrow with our fingers crossed!!
