I've tried to bottle up the excitement that my wee man had yesterday when I said we were going to the beach so he could play with the sand. You never know when I can use that feeling again. He said we are going on holiday to play in the sand. His simple definition of what it means to go on "holiday" is something to treasure.
We drove to Troon beach as we decided it would be a great opportunity to take advantage of trying the recommended fish and chips at MacCallums Oyster Bar and Restaurant. We took our bucket and spade and well did the regular beachy things. We build sand castles and splashed about in the water the low tide had left behind.
After an awesome fish and chips lunch we walked back along the sea front searching for stones and watching our shadows from the beautiful sunshine. It was somewhat of a trauma to drag ourselves away from a rather amazing day at the beach.
A brilliant day, with so many gorgeous photos, and I love that hat! Fish & chips at the seaside, in the sunshine, sounds bliss :) #Countrykids

ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect day out :) Gorgeous photos, love the contrast of the bright bucket against the sand. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteNothing like fish and chips and a trip to the seaside with a bucket and spade. We haven't done that for ages!
ReplyDeletethe simple things make for amazing days out and brilliant memories. We love Troon beach. Never tried the chip shop in Troon I have to add.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds and looks like a great day out for everyone! Lots to explore and play with on the beach and to round it off with some yummy fish and chips is perfect. Thanks for linking up and sharing your lovely photos with Country Kids.

ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful day out! There is just something so magical about spending time at the beach with children, they find so much pleasure in the simple things and the wonders that you find there :-)
ReplyDeleteThere is something so very nice about a day on the beach isn't there? No matter what time of year. Plus fish and chips is perfect food to warm up with :)
