Beach Weekends Away

We had a great weekend away about 3 hours south of Sydney, near Jervis Bay with 2 of our favorite families.  The weather was not great and Brian was in the US, unable to join us, but we still had fun!  Our house was perfect for our group, deceivingly small from the outside, it opened up into a huge, 6 bedroom house!

After arriving and getting unpacked, we headed down to check out the beach.

These crazy kids headed straight for the cold water and had an absolute blast playing in the waves.

I think it’s funny that it looks like Harrison and Louis have pushed down my baby girl! We had so much fun playing tip on the beach!

After the beach, it was back for dinner and games!  The next morning it was our turn for meal time….the girls made menus for our breakfast restaurant.

We enjoyed a nice dinner out followed by more games and another morning swim at the beach before heading out.  We stopped at a nearby park before making the drive home.

The following weekend, we had another beach getaway with another group.  We spent the weekend near Port Stephens, 2 hours north of Sydney with our connect group from church. A little rainy again this weekend, but still a blast and the kids enjoyed the pool many, many times!! This house fit our group of 8 adults and 15 kids very well!
