Perfect Sunday Picnic

Lately we've been trying to spend more time together as a family. The semester is winding down, my PhD thesis is nearly ready to be sent off and it's spring in north Queensland.

It's the perfect time of year, very little rain, warm temps, and lots of sunshine.

Plus, now we live just 10 minutes from the beach!

So, the kids grabbed their togs (swim suits), I packed a picnic lunch, and off we went.

After a bit of a walk around, the kids headed for the Big Bucket, a water attraction that is always a big hit. Before the kids could get too sunburned we treated them for a frappe at a local cafe. Then we went off for our picnic lunch down by the beach.

While we were eating, two skydivers plummeted down and landed safely on the beach a short distance away.

Too nice. :)
