Mission Beach

For Hubby's day off yesterday, we decided to check out Mission Beach, which is about 2 hours south of Cairns. My parents-in-law will be staying there in a couple of weeks, so we thought we do a test drive down there!

It was extremely windy, but we enjoyed being down on the beach. Darling Daughter (DD) wasn't so sure! She enjoyed playing in the sand, but wasn't so keen on the water!

It's a bit hard to hear, but this video is where Daddy is calling out shapes that he drew in the sand and DD is pointing out each shape (we're not proud parents, or anything!)...

At one point, DD was so scared of the water, she clung to the backs of my legs!

Despite it being so windy, it was a lovely day and we enjoyed the drive down as a family. DD was such a good girl... she slept on the way there, had an absolutely ball on the beach and then slept again on the way home... no grizzles all day (perhaps a new record!).
