Jerrod had today off so we loaded up the truck, packed up a days worth of snacks plus some (because let's face it kids could snack allllll day ) and headed out to the west side of the peninsula to sandy bay. You would be disgusted by the amount of dead roos on the side or in the middle of the road out that way. They are rather stupid creatures and jump either in front of or right into vehicles as they drive...like they hop into the side of your car. It's really rather sad because you are obligated to "finish them off" rather than let them suffer; it's like hitting a deer in maine. Then you must check the pouch for babies.
Once we drove the 45+minutes to the beach it didn't take long for us to notice some pretty nasty clouds headed our way. The beach was dead, and much more windy than we anticipated. Some of our friends arrived and the 3 young girls spent the time in the water playing while logan dragged sticks around in the mud making shapes. After about an hour and a half the black clouds were close enough to make us un comfortable so we packed up and got in the car just as the rain began to pour down on us. So much for our sun soaked relaxing day at the beach! First rain for us since we have been here. .so 4 weeks! On the bright side, we should be receiving our unaccompanied baggage by the end of the week! (Our first 500 lbs of essentials) this makes me happy because we will be able to start putting our touches into the house and really making it ours.
I made rice krispy treats yesterday to bring to share at the beach. I recommend if coming from the states and you like marshmallows bring your own. There pink and white marshmallow concoction taste like crap. So if you are reading this, feel free to send a couple of bags my way!
