How Was Your Weekend?

Ours was great. On Saturday, we didn't do too much, but on Sunday we had a great day. After a few choices of where to go for a picnic, we decided to do a beach picnic. We went to La Perouse, a beautiful beach located south of Sydney. It is very popular beach, even just to find a parking spot, we had to go around the block a few times. We finally got one, not too far too walk to the main beach.

Ari and Jamie went straight away and hit the water, while Steven and I set up our beach tent. It didn't take us too long to sit in comfort. From a distance, I saw Jamie trying to stand on his body board, as if he was a professional surfer. So cute.


Not long after, Ari came back to see us asking for lunch. We had sausage sandwiches, sausage rolls and some cocktail frankfurts. I also packed some carrot and cucumber sticks and some nectarines. For desert, we went to the local shop to get some ice cream. It seems that the beach day always goes nicely with some ice cream.


Then we walked to the other side, and we saw this snake show. I heard that this guy has been doing this show for years. He is basically telling about all different snakes and reptiles, how venomous they are, how to avoid them and how to recognise the snake if you are bitten. Its useful to know to inform the hospital to get the right anti-venom. We didn't stay there too long as my two boys started to loose their interest as they couldn't see the show. It was very crowded.



We continued our walk a little further, just to find another beautiful part of the sea. The crystal clear water looks so lovely. No wonder so many snorkelers and divers were there. We walked trough the very stunning rock formation and across the bridge. I just loved to see those rock and sand formation. Its gorgeous.

Thanks for visiting guys. I hope you had a great weekend as much as we did.
