We went to the beach today!
Having fun on the beach 
We have had a fantastic day at Pembrey Country Park. The weather has been beautiful; very sunny and a cloudless sky. It even felt warm (once you could get out of the breeze!).
We got to the park at about 11ish and went to the Visitor Centre to buy another spade. Two buckets, two more spades and a frizbee later, we hit the beach. Much digging took place in the sand! After a while, we headed off to the Dry Ski Slope for lunch. There is a small "restaurant" there, and the food was really good. Ben and James stuffed themselves and had an ice cream each.
Smithy and the boys then had a go on the toboggan - see the pictures! We then went back to the beach and did some further digging and went to find the sea. The boys got rather wet - Ben fell over and got very wet trousers. Neither was wearing waterproofs or wellies! We headed back to the dry sand and found an area out of the wind. More play!
Finally, we went to the Adventure playarea in the woods. James met another little boy called Gwillam and they played together. Eventually, about 4.45pm we went back to the car. James had a tumble and grazed his left palm.
We stopped off at Safeway in Carmarthen for two reasons.
- No wine!
- The boys were falling asleep in the car!
We finally made it back to the barn. Ben and James had two enormous bowls of pasta, pesto and bacon. They looked shattered! A quick bath followed and then bed - both were very tired!
A good day!
