Easter holidays at the pool!

The weather this Easter holidays was unbelievably warm and perfect for going swimming, I can't believe we actually spent several days at the pool!  Usually it is starting to cool down a little by this time of the year!

It actually makes me feel a little sad, as I am a summer girl all the way, not terribly fond of winter!  I hate having the feel of blankets on my bed weighing me down.  I do like the snuggle in the morning in a warm toasty bed but the flip side of that is that you eventually have to get out of bed!

The fact is I find it a lot easier to cool down than warm up.  I guess I am well suited to living in Brisbane where we are lucky to get to below 5 degrees Celsius and it rarely goes below 20 degrees during the day.
  

Mind you there are joyous to winter, I love hot chocolates when the temperature turns down and I love sliding around the house in my socks.  I guess if we didn't have a winter would I get to appreciate how wonderful summer really is!  All you lucky ducks on the other side of the world heading into those warm summer days, I will be drooling all over your blogs and counting down the days until we will be off to the pool again!
 

The Jetty, Coffs Harbour!

We spent a gorgeous couple of days visiting Davids parents at the end of the Easter holidays.  Amber had a Persuasive talk to prepare on her favourite part of Australia, so it was an added bonus visiting her favourite part of Australia while catching up with family.  It also gave us an excuse to do all the touristy things we don't normally do when visiting Coffs.  A rainbow even made an appearance, so it was just magical!

So this trip included places when living in Coffs Harbour that I would not be caught dead visiting.  I will share these photos in a later post, as this post is about my favourite part of Coffs, the Jetty, The Harbour and Mutton Bird Island.

We meet the most gorgeous family in the background of the below photo visiting from Newcastle and the kids both got a treat being spun around like an aeroplane before heading down to the beach.

It was so lovely staying for the sunset even though it was a little cool, the kids still managed to warm themselves up and get a little wet in the end and I got to ogle over the sunset and go mad with my camera!

I can't say that the ensemble that my children were wearing was exactly fashionable, but they were comfortable and had so much fun and that is the most important thing as it enabled them to play uninhibited.
