First Day Of Spring BBQ




It was a beautiful first day of Spring - even quite warm - I think my boys got burnt heads at play group from the first burning sunshine of the season. I thought it would be a lovely treat to take the children to the park for a bbq for tea. We are lucky and have a few spots where we can bbq near by. Kelsea insisted that it was for Fathers day so Jared could choose where we went - but we had to go to the place she said! It was all good though - so we ended up at a popular little beach spot that is kid friendly and ahs bbq facilities.

It was a perfect evening - and the sea air smelt divine - here are a few pics from our piece of paradise.

Even before we started cooking these little...darlings....came flocking to us!


Eamon took off straight for the beach only to be told to waith for Dad! He is such a lovely boy - and also such a rough and ready kid - he is sensitive and really aggresive and loves the great outdoors (I had just bathed him before we left as he came into the house trailing thick sticky black mud behind him- yay!)







Jack is so sweet - he sucked on a 'rafferty's garden' tube the whole time - he is such a snuggly baby.
{With a worried look because Eamon had just chased the gulls on to the road}


Kelsea loves to have her picture taken - lucky the camera loves her! Kelsea LOVES bbq-ing and family time together - she is always at her happiest when we are out doing something like this together! She is growing too fast - wishing that we could freeze her at 5!



Jared took some scenic shots - and I did some stuff to the birds on a wire shot- dunno what I did - dunno how to make it look good - but it's like this now!!

I love the last shot of the seagulls. They all are growing up so fast. I think Jack and Eamon have grown up too fast! I wish I could of stopped Maddi from growing at 2- 3. She was so sweet and innocent then. It was the perfect day today!

It looks like it was an amazing evening, both the views and the time. Love your photography. Wish I could get mine to look that good.

Glad you enjoyed the music. :) Your children are adorable. I have two little boys and a baby on the way in February--so I can imagine that our days and lives are similar in many ways! Wishing you the greatest joy in motherhood!
