Day 41  |  Today started off incredibly hot - hitting 28 degrees by 9am!  So after a hot morning doing jobs around home, we decided to take the boys to the beach this afternoon.  We'd promised them a day to the beach during the holidays so today seemed like the perfect day.

However, in the City it was much cooler, and by the time we got to the beach, it was 20 degrees and blowing a very strong cole easterly gale, with a rough sea.  There were a few brave ones in the water, but our boys aren't used to the sea and are not cold water fans at the best of times!  Even Steve, who loves the beach and sea, wasn't too keen for a dip!

On the drive over, the boys had spotted the new QEII Stadium and wanted to go there, so we made the decision that the beach would have to wait for another day, and the swimming pool and hydro slide it was!  At least it was nice and refreshing and the boys had heaps of fun - even going down the double ring together while Mum and Dad sat and watched from the pool!  (A very strange feeling!)

Of course, I did have to take a photo of the boys at the beach, just to show we did actually make it - even if it wasn't quite to the water - or sand, lol!
