The Seaside

Saturday was such a gorgeous day that we decided to get out of the house and take Joshua for a walk up Southend to get some nice sea air. The little dude slept all the way there and then for about 20 minutes whilst we walked along the sea front. Then just as we turned around to head back, he woke up...............so the fun started.

We started the walk back by going through Adventure Island. We found several little kiddies rides which provided a nice photo opportunity with Joshua. The first ones are of Joshua driving the Lightning McQueen car from Disney Cars.

Then after that it was time for Thunderbird 2 and Thomas the Tank Engine.

After all that excitement it was time for some ice cream (of course not as nice as the homemade ice cream that Daddy makes for Joshua!).

Mummy didn't get away with hiding behind the camera all day - here's a quick pose of Mummy and Baby.Once we left Adventure Island, Joshua had the pleasure of meeting up with Larry the Lobster from the Sea Life Center. Larry was more than happy to have a pose with the little man.

Finally, we couldn't go to the seaside on a hot day and not give Joshua his first experience in the sea. So it was sandal's off and in for a paddle. At first the cold water took him by surprise and he was lifting his feet up. But he soon realised what fun he could have stomping his feet in the water and in the process absolutely soaking his shorts and his Dad!
