We're going to the coast

So I drove the boys to Batemans Bay today. The workaholic couldn't (or wouldn't!) take time off so we went by ourselves. We hit the sand just before 11am.

Matthew and Ben hit it running!

Ryan made it in slowly but got there. In the end he was just a courageous as Ben and Matthew.

Ben did NOT stop running the whole time we were there!

Ben showed Matthew how to get really wet.

Ryan tried and decided it was too cold! Although later on he was fully submerged.

Ben was first on the boogie board. Uncle Brenty this is how you surf apparently!

And when you get really good you can do this!

Matthew was too fast for the massive waves!

Ryan just completely missed the whole concept of "catching" a wave. Mostly the waves caught him! But he had a blast anyway!

Check out that leg action! As an experienced swim coach that is awesome!

Ben tired of the wave running after a while and decided to chase the sand. He started with the wet sand.......

Then ran around the beach scooping up sand from all over the place. A scoop from here, run, a scoop from there, run!

Then it was back to the boogie board. It is the same size as he is! He kept running with it directly infront of him so he couldn't see a thing!

Then it was time for monster trucks! (as only a Rickard boy can!)

Then when the chaffing from all that sand got too much.........

it was pants off!
