Day-22 Something you miss!

These pics were taken at Hahei Beach when we were there in April.

I know I have so much on my blog already about the beach. I just really miss 'home' (Cape Town) sometimes for the beach. We only had white sand beaches. None of this black sand that gets stuck in between your toes and takes forever to wash off. LOL!! Back home we lived close enough to the beach to get there in a 20min drive and it was safe enough to swim anytime of the day. I'm only saying that because it looked a lot like Piha Beach which a bit of a drive away... but I dare not swim at Piha, just love the look of it and to put my toes in the water.

I was one of those kiddies that if I knew we were off to the beach for the day... the minute we arrived at the beach I would be in the water with my boogie board and only come out if I was hungry. I was pretty much a water baby. I absolutely love the ocean! We don't swim at the beach anymore as often as we use to because the beaches we have grown quite attached to in New Zealand are just so far away from where we live. So really it becomes like a total day trip to get there and so much hard work with having a little one. If I go back to Cape Town one day, I am definitely going to spend a lot of my time at the beach.

Day-21 Your happy place!

Well my ideal happy place is sitting on a beach, toes in the sand either reading a book or a magazine with just quiet around me. But whatever haven't had that for a while. Last time we were at the beach I probably only read for 20 minutes before it was my turn to keep an eye on Levi.

My happy place these days is a quiet afternoon when is having nap-time and usually I have an hour to relax. Read maybe a few pages of a book, play Candy Crush LOL while listening to some music. Something nice and soothing with not too much beat otherwise he would be awake way to quick. Today I thought I'd listen to Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite, so good. Nice and relaxing!!!! Haaaaaaaaa... Could even fall asleep myself.

I'm enjoying it while I can. Only because within the next few weeks when Levi is going to have nap-time there will be another little person keeping me company. Who knows what is going to happen then. :)

Been sleeping for more than an hour already... Totally not complaining!

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year to you all.

Levi going into the water clothes and all! Lucky we always have endless amounts of extra clothes packed in for him.

Loved the sunshine on the water. Was such a great day for a tan.

Here in New Zealand we are enjoying a New Year in Summer. Loved it thus far. Been to the beach a few times and soooooo enjoyed getting my feet wet in that gorgeous ocean. We took our son to the beach for a swim for the first time and oh my goodness he didn't want to get out of the water. He is definitely going to be a water-baby like his mummy.
