about our holiday. We were over there for 
almost two weeks with my cousin Rebecca's wedding right in the middle. As you can imagine we have quite a few photos, especially from the wedding so I think I'll have to split the blog post up or else I'll get totally bogged down and never actually get it done!
Before we went, Beth's main focus of the holiday was to spend lots
of time on the beach. Thankfully the weather was pretty good and we managed quite a few trips and grandma & grandpa also took them a fair bit. My favourite beach trip was to Crawfordsburn Beach, a very pretty little cove with Great Grandma Ruth's hospital overlooking it (she was a nurse there, though it has now been 
converted into apartments).
We spent quite a long time building sandcastles, collecting shells, paddling and in Steve and my case, drinking a flask of coffee. Very
pleasant! After that we packed the buckets and spades back in the car, got out the bikes and rode along the beach path all the way to Grandma Ruth's. The weather was fab and it was a perfect morning.
The other beach trips weren't quite so warm and enjoyable (for us at least since the kids wouldn't have noticed if it was raining and blowing a gale). Steve made sure that there was no sitting round building the average sandcastle - he had the kids digging channels and moats, all very 
technical. :)
We did try to get an extra few hours at the beach in Seaton Carew (last photo on the right) once we came home. It was a little chilly and windy but the kids still managed to have a ball.
