The first few weeks we arrived it rained almost everyday, which was a nice change from what we were used to, however the kids were ready to hit the beach! So, on one of the first warm sunny days, we headed to Shelly Beach. This is a small little cove down from Manly Beach that is sheltered from the surf. It is also a reserve so it has been known to have some really neat marine life which makes it a popular scuba sight. We enjoyed the clear blue water and the beautiful beach! We could have done without the freezing cold water! It didn't stop the kids, though, they got in and snorkeled and played. We had a fabulous time!
Manly Beach is in the background...
4 boys sunning themselves on the rock like lizards!
Carson could climb up and down these rocks all day!
Here is Braden snorkeling. He was amazed at all the fish he could see. He saw big groupers and even a sand shark (the ones that bury themselves in the sand; they actually look more like a ray)
Looking back at Manly Beach...Braden is on the rocks looking for crabs. A few surfers were out where the waves were breaking.
Braden and Davis playing on the beach...it almost was like we were at a pool or lake rather than the ocean. The water was so blue, though!
Avery coming back from snorkeling...she was so excited to tell us about all the fish she saw!

Everybody looks so warm and toasty in the sunshine!! We're freezing here (ok--really, it's only like in the 50's---that's cold to us!). Soak up some rays and bury your toes in the sand for me!
