In today’s vlog, we set off on a little adventure to a secluded secret beach not far from home. The plan was to spend a relaxing afternoon on the sand, enjoying the coolcabana, and doing a bit of fishing. Sounds perfect, right? Well… it didn’t exactly go as planned! 😅
When we arrived, we found that the tide was out, leaving the water a long way from the nice sandy shore. Instead of being able to relax on the beach, we had to trudge through boggy ground to find a decent spot to fish. Not exactly what we were hoping for, but it definitely made for a memorable experience! Robbie, our dog, was in heaven though, happily paddling in the shallows. 🐾
As for the kids, well, let’s just say they didn’t share the same enthusiasm for the squishy mud and soggy conditions. 🤦♂️ However, we did manage to find a few "pippies" (small shellfish) that we cracked open and tried using as bait, but sadly, no fish decided to bite! 🎣
On a positive note, we had an incredible moment when we spotted a ray gracefully swimming through the water – what an awesome sight! 🦈 It was one of those little surprises that reminded us how amazing nature can be.
As the day winds down, we take a moment to reflect on the holiday season, wishing everyone a Happy New Year! We talk about the challenges of being away from family and friends in the UK at this time of year, and how it’s especially tough when you’re missing those familiar traditions. The kids are also feeling a bit bored since many of their friends are away for the summer holidays, which has led to a bit of cabin fever at home! 🤔
Even though it didn’t go as planned, it was still a beautiful day out, and we’re grateful for the little moments, even if things don’t always turn out how we expect. Thanks for watching, and we hope you enjoy this real and relatable family adventure. 🎥
