Mum's been inspired!!

Crikey ....... today was the best day EVER at the beach. Mum's been inspired by Bacon's Mum and Mara. They are both on a mission to get fit and lose a bit of weight in the process. You can read about their mission's HERE and HERE.  Mum's been a bit slack lately too so today we went for a BIG, LONG walk on the beach. We used to do it all the time but as I said she's been a bit slack lately. Well from today on that's all changed and I'm here to tell you it's not before time. When we got home even Mum said it was the BEST morning EVER!!  What do you reckon??  Was it a good morning??
Pretty, aye?? 
We played ball along the way. 







Am I a good catch or what??
We walked a couple of kilometres!!






We got to the creek!!

Do I know how to have fun or what??

The water was COLD in the creek.  The oceans still warm.

I had to run like a maniac to get warm after my swim.
I ran and ran all through the grass and up and down the dunes across the creek.  
Then we had to walk back to the car and we played ball again. It was the best day EVER!!

Wanna run with me ...  Love, Charlie.

  1. O Crikey Charlie what a great day you had! I almost envy you for living on one of the most wonderful places of the world. The beaches, the sea, dunes and a creek to cool off. You are such a lucky boy.

    1. Most mornings it's all ours but in the arvo we usually have to share with a few others. It is winter though. In summer we usually meet up with a few more people but it's never crowded.

    It been such a long time since I've walked a long beach but isn't it better to do this in summer.

    1. It's pretty much always summer up here Merle! We get cold mornings but by 8am it's warm enough for Mum to strip off her cardy. The water temperature is still warm enough to swim without a wet suit. About 23C.

  25. How glorious was that morning!! Superb pictures, too:) Great action!

    Growlmy did not have to go to any outside stroll yesterday...she had a way too busy day at her work...and the pedometer she always wears (a fitbit) said she walked over 6 miles on her shift...Yikes! Mostly its about 3.5 miles...
