What does it takes to be a beach bum?

Well we've been working on mastering our "beach bum" abilities! It's quite a challenge to leave every morning and ensure that you have enough snacks, sandwiches, fruits, drinks, sunscreen, beach toys, beach shelters, towels, nappies, etc to last the entire day. You don't want to find yourself on any of the spectacular beaches without some of the key amenities! You would then only have a great time instead of an amazing time. So, to improve our "beach bum" abilities we've put ourselves to the test by going to the beach everyday this week:
Monday - Oakura Beach
Tuesday - Ocean Beach
Wednesday - Whananaki Beach
Thursday - Oakura Beach
Friday - Morrisey Bay Beach

It hasn't been easy. Lots of sun, sand and hot weather! Always at least +24C. The ocean is very warm and full of waves. Makes it a real challenge not to spend a couple of hours playing in the waves with our buggy board or walking along the beach. We always have to remember to reapply our sunscreen.

And we can't forget all that white stuff. It's everywhere when we come home. In our chilly bin, in the pram, in our beach bag. Mackenzie and Breeana have some everywhere, not including the bulk they ate at the beach!

But you know what it's all been worth it! Probably only another week or so and we will have it down to a science.
