A Very Fun, Very Full Day

We woke up Wednesday and it wasn't raining!!!!  We ate some breakfast (I had toast with fresh avocado - Yum!) and started to get ready for the day.  Emma went outside for a few minutes and came back and declared that she wanted to go swimming.  Now I had already been out there and had stuck my foot into the pool.  I'm sure that the week before it had felt all nice and cool, but after all the rain, it was getting a little too cool.  I told her no, but her Daddy said yes. Off they went and I think they were both a little surprised at how cool it was. Emma never actually got all the way in, but she sure did have fun spashing her Daddy.  That is until it started raining.....again!

About lunchtime it stopped raining and the sun started trying to peak out.  We very quickly loaded up in the car and headed out to Wellington Point, which looks out over Moroton Bay for some lunch and to go to the beach for a little bit. It ended up taking longer for lunch than we thought it would, so by the time we were headed down to the water the wind had picked up and the clouds were moving in.

Emmaline was so happy to finally see the beach.  She, of course, had no idea that this wasn't the beach beach yet.  We were just on the bay, but she was still happy.  She ended up calling this the little beach with the sea shells.

Emmaline found a beautiful shell. 

And yes, we did bring it home :-)

We had noticed these two guys on the beach with some gear.  Turns out they were kiteboarders.  We stuck around to watch them.  The clouds got thicker and the wind got stronger.

In this one, the guy with the blue kite was doing a flip and ended up going right over the other guy.  It was amazing to watch and even more amazing that they didn't get their lines tangled up.

After this we headed over to the cafe and got some ice cream.  Vanilla for Emmaline and Passion Fruit for me.  We ended up eating in the car because the rain started up again.  It was time to head back to the house and get cleaned up for dinner.  We were having the wedding dinner to honor the happy couple.  I was just hoping I would be able to stay awake for the entire thing!
