Last week was Tyler's birthday which happened to fall on a Monday, so we had her birthday party on the following Saturday.
On her actual birthday, we drove down to the Gold Coast to pick up Opa from the plane, because he was flying home from a weekend in Melbourne. We deliberately got there a bit early and we had a walk on the beach at Tugun for about an hour. The weather was just perfect. Not too cold and windy, but not too hot either. The clothes that Tyler is wearing in the photo was just the right beach attire that day. Of course, the kids just HAD to run down to the water's edge and get their feet wet, and the water was REALLY COLD!!!! which was the reason for lots of screams and squeals when the waves got to them. The water was soooooo clean and blue and the new sand on the beach was so white and clean.
I love the early morning sun on the ocean.The birthday girl dressed for the beach on a Winter day.
Testing the water................What a glorious day. 
Here are some photos from the birthday party. She had a lovely group of little girls come around and we had home-made marshmallows, coconut ice, sausage rolls and 'little cups of coffee' ( made from biscuits, marshmallows, lifesavers and freckles). The cake was a Princess' tiara made from lots of cupcakes.
We did some craft, played musical statues, limbo and had a treasure hunt.
She got some beautiful presents - and all 'crafty' ones. I wonder where that comes from??????
