Can't believe we almost didn't go....Straddie!

Last year we decided it was getting too much to take the kids out of school to go to Straddie, right when they we're going back and missing out on settling in with their new class.  And with Milla starting kindy, I really wanted her to be there the first couple weeks to get settled in and not miss out making friends etc.  Sooo, can you believe it, but we decided that we wouldn't go when Adam and Kacy came out.  What!?  It felt so weird to think that we weren't going so thanks to Adam's quick arrangements, we snuck across to Straddie for a week before Christmas.  Felt a little weird since we would normally go in February but hey, I'll take anything!  So, here's to making more memories for another year!!

As always, lots of time spent at the beach having fun. Our tribe...

These kiddos are seriously the best of friends!

Girl power!

Two gorgeous mermaids we found on the beach...

One stunning Mumma!  It was the twins first time in ocean waters.

Some sweet moments...

We heard about a dolphin that will come up to the jetty at Amity Point around 4ish to be fed, so we thought we would check it out.  There were lots of other people there but we manage to get a good spot on the steps and the kids loved seeing a 'real life dolphin' swim so close.

 My Mum and Dad came over for a day.  It was nice to have them around and spend time with us and the kids.  Do you think I look like my Dad?

Milla experimenting with the snorkel goggles for the first time...

This particular day was the perfect!  The water was clear and perfect temperature. The waves were the perfect size and breaking nicely so the kids could come out a little further than normal.  I have so much fun swimming with the girls...I feel young and silly!

Milla was not happy at all with me taking a picture...but that's life when trying to get a decent photo with kids!  There is always one.  But gosh I love these beauties...

We love Straddie!!
