Surf Life Saving season begins...

Sunday saw the start of the surf living season.  On the beach by 8.45am, lined up behind the appropriate coloured flags (same colour as your caps, red for Blondie, dark blue for FJ), ready to start at 9.00 am.

There were long swims and runs, handled really well by both kids, then came the board paddling.  FJ got the hang of it on the return leg...


And Blondie also got the idea about half way, after the instructor had to drag the board out past the beach break...



Then came the flag races, "Toes on the line, heads down....GO!"



"Who didn't get a flag this time?"



Of course it had to be Blondie that got the jellyfish sting...



And considering that both kids had been with Daddy at Crusty Demons the night before until 11.00 pm, they did really well - we didn't get the expected meltdown, just this grumpy face...



"Can we go home now, please?!"
