I’m a few days behind on the blog… my sincerest apologies for the interruption in service.  I shall try and remember what happened!

We got up and had breakfast, made a picnic and then loaded up the bikes with just about everything from the camper van and headed for the beach.  We got there and all took it in turns to blow up the boat.  Gemma and I decided that we had the ingredients for the next fitness craze… camp fit! We had watched some people playing in the waves the previous day with inflatable boats… and they looked great!.  We loaded the kids in and they all hung on for dear life!  Rapidly Amy decided it wasn’t for her before the boat capsized on a big wave and Sophie and Penny whimped out…leaving Fraser riding the waves.  Both Gemma and I took a turn each too with Stew steering the boat into as many waves as possible!

We had lunch and the children turned the boat into a paddling pool, and once again our camp fit class was effective trying to move a boat full of water up the beach… the tide was whipping in and we were against the clock.

The final challenge was the deflation and packing of the boat.. a real work out!

We headed back to camp and realised that there had been a few suncream malfunctions… In particular with me! 

The children went for a swim, and then we had a bbq for dinner. After a bit of sitting in the sun with  a gin and tonic for the girls!  I had to go to bed without dinner as I had had too much sun!
