Rocky bay...

Yesterday we spent the day with friends at Rocky Bay - about 45min from Durbs.... we were asked to camp but I thought i may be a little uncomfortable so we decided to just spend the day!!
Mike played paint ball in the morning (i love how this boy loves paintball - fun, outdoors, man time!!) and then we headed off. The weather was a bit miffy here - raining and miserable!

We left at 11:20am...
 Mike and I packed out camping chairs and off we went -
 and of course baby was invited and I brought my huge tummy along for the trip!!
 We had in tow our baby name booked and laughed at some name choices on the way..... what do you think of BAKER Brits if its a boy :) Mike wasn't keen - i like the idea of our baby being a big old bakerman!!
We were giggling and trying to make up names that can be cool to name our child so its initials would be funny.... 
 Even though it was a short drive we stopped for some tea and hot chocolate to make it feel road trippy!
The weather was lovely - not huge sunshine so it wasnt HOT an the beach was stunning! We had some fun taking some pictures!!



 This tummy is GROWING and growing out of any and all clothes - gosh!!

 The boys talking about cameras and taking pics....
 The water was AMAZING!! I was super keen for a swim but so lazy to change and put on my costume...
 The girls walked along picking up shells while the boys walked along kicking a ball like most boys do!
 A couple of rolls in the sand and some minor injuries while the boys played beach soccer then off to the pools to cool off and have a swim! Back to the campsite to sit, chill and talk nonsense - best time ever!!!
 This was our view from the site - amazing!!!
 We had some tea and cupcakes for afternoon tea and mike pulled up our cooler box for me to use as a foot rest - heaven!
 The girls when to sit on the beach to chat while the boys starting the braai and got the meat a cooking - or so we though! We got back some time later and found them semi-braaing BUT mostly playing LUDO! Mike was stoked to have won and flashed me gang signs when i took a pic!!
 Let me just say - 3 hours later the meat still wasn't cooked and the little bit that was cooked was a bit charred and full of ash :) It was a huge joke!!! The girls couldn't wait for the meat so we dug into the salads while the boys insisted that the meat was "nearly ready"....
 Eventually it was the fires fault the meat wasn't cooking and the boys switched to using the scottle to cook the meat!!! Lets just say the salads were the highlight of dinner!!!
 After some more tea, LOTS OF LAUGHING, a lengthily discussion about whether or not raw pasta gives you worms (don't ask), some more laughing we decided it was time to get going!
 We arrived home just one 11pm, had a sleepy shower and headed to bed! I LOVED it and we promised to camp a couple of times a year at least!!!! We are fully kitted and really want out children to grow up camping like we did.... I cannot wait for our next camping trip - baby will be with us hopefully!!!
