Beach Fun

2years 309days

We spent today with one of Katie's best friends, her mum and her cousin. Katie loves seeing Brooke so much. She spent the whole morning asking when she was arriving to collect us and when her mum text to say they were nearly here she ran to the window and waited until they arrived. We took the children to Filey for the day. They all three slept on the way, and looked rather adorable in their row of carseats!

We went first for lunch in a diner at the top of the cliff to the beach. Due to a lack of card payment facilities, we ended up only able to feed the children. However it turned out to be a bonus as the meals arrivved and they had gigantic portions, enough to share round!

After lunch we went down to the beach. The children found a large wooden dinosaur to climb on for a while before continuing their run. They had a lovely time in the sand, playing in channels and holes that had been left by others and had a good play with the ball. They ventured in to the sea for a little splash and paddle before they all declared it time to get warm and sand-free. A wash in the sinks later and three clean children skipped along the path up the cliff. They had a long play in the park before it started to rain heavily and the children decided it was snack time so we packed them up for off.

Brooke's mum dropped Katie and I off in Bridlington with friends, where Katie had a wonderful time playing with one of their cats and in particular one of the cats toys. Afternoon tea eaten and it was time to head to the evening's activity.

We were going to a fundraising music night to raise money for CDH UK. It was a brilliant evening, so well supported, so much fun. Quizzes, auction, old friends, an amazing band, lots of dancing, a brilliant buffet and a HUGE amount of money raised for a really important cause. Katie came up to me and asked to have a cuddle, and less than a minute was asleep in my arms. She curled herself up and settled to sleep before waking up to do some more dancing. The whole evening was topped off, for Katie, by the fact that Grandad and Granny joined us too and that was where we ended our brilliant day.
