Across and 26 & 27 December Pa and I took Maggie to the Seaspray for a swim, and on 2 January we went again with Claire and Ed.

The beach is fast becoming Maggie’s favourite thing, and 24 January we went again for Australia Day.

Ed was less impressed with the wind and sand, and spent more time in the playground.

Maggie’s energy was at a 10 the entire time, there is nothing that she loves doing more than running and jumping in the water. She even tried a bit of boogie boarding and did quite well at it.

I tried to take out deeper once and she tried to pull against my hand at exactly the wrong time and got a “wipeout” which dampened things, though the fish and chips afterwards made up for it.
