First stop was the beach, now Zara has never actually been on a beach before or been close to the sea so I was intrigued to see what she would make of it. My brave little girl didn’t bat an eyelid and just barged straight in. It really wasn’t as windy and cold as it sounds on the video by the way, it was lovely and warm!

We got some beautiful photos of her aswell – sometimes I could spend all day just taking photos of her lol

Am I brave enough to go in?

It got me!

After the beach we had chip butties in the park. Zara at this stage was dressed in just a nappy as we hadn’t planned on a beach trip and so had no change of clothes or a towel so it was a case of clean nappy and wait for her to dry before brushing off the sand. Luckily I always have suncream in my bag! When Z started looking a bit cold I finally remembered her coat was under the pram so she wore that!

Tired and starting to feel the cold

After lunch we decided to investigate the funfair, another new experience for Zara and her eyes were out on stalks (despite the fact that she hadn’t had a nap and was completely exhausted by now). Anyway we managed a ride on the teacups with daddy, a spinny thing ride with daddy, a ride on the gee gees with mummy and then we decided it was time to go home before exhaustion kicked in completely.

and the gee gees with Mummy

A truely wonderful and unplanned day! I’m sat here smiling just thinking about it. Hopefully after all that sea air I’ll get a good nights sleep from both of them tonight.
