Zach's first full day on Rottnest Island started early (4AM) with the draw of the ocean outside our window. Even though he couldn't see the ocean he could smell the salty air.
He had to stand at the window for an hour before the sunrise convinced Mum and Dad to get out of bed. By 10AM it was hot and we couldn't wait to get to the beach!
First, Zach had to get his toes wet to cool off from the 40+ (C) degree weather.
Then he had to study the sand....Let's see, its soft and warm. I wonder how it tastes?
He only tasted it once and quickly learned that sand is fun as long as it is not in your mouth. Yes, that is Zach's mischievous, slightly amused look.
Sand is fun to throw.
He got to use his new birthday present to build a sand castle.
Dad had to help him a bit. He is only one after all.
He also had some close encounters with the sand. As Zach looked for sea shells Dad told him he could hear the ocean in them if he put them up to his ear. Zach must have misunderstood him and put his head up to the sea shells in the sand. Oops! Sand sticks to sunscreen on a bald head.
After a long day of playing in the sand it was time to cool off with drinks and cookies with his mates. What a life!
