Swanage Sand with Friends

Last weekend, Jason, Kayle and I headed down to Swanage, Dorset with some friends of ours, Rik & Seonaid. We drove down Friday night and hung out there till Sunday afternoon and did lots of fun things to just relax before things get crazy with surgery here!

Kayle was so excited to go to the beach, so first thing Saturday morning we got up and took her down to the beach to build sand castles. Kayle had lots of fun and even went up another little girl on the beach and made friends with her.

Kayle took a walk towards the water but was a little bit nervous. She was more scared of the seaweed than the water though!
After we were done playing on the beach, we got a snack and then took a walk on the pier to find my grandparents plaques. Kayle found something more fun on the way!
Once we walked the length of the pier, we took a little break on a bench!

Next fun thing to do was to jump on the Steam Train to Corfe Castle! Kayle was so excited to go on the train because she has developed a love for a certain young train named Thomas!

As soon as we arrived in Corfe, we took a short walk to see where my Grandparents used to live and then my sweet little baby fell asleep... so we propped her up on the fence and took a well earned break in the pub!
As soon as Kayle woke up, we jumped on the train back to Swanage and headed to the amusement arcade to waste some time before dinner. Kayle really enjoyed sitting on all the games and playing, but she loved the bowling game best and even won enough tokens to get a prize! She was so excited!

Sunday before we left we decided to head to Lulworth Cove. Jason and Kayle had so much fun looking for fossils and little stones.
Jason and Kayle had lots of fun playing on the beach and in the pebbles! And then, we had fun looking back at the photos and laughing!
We had a wonderful time just relaxing and enjoying ourselves.
It was so nice to just chill out in the warm sunshine.

My Sweet Baby Girl

I think Jason and I are in big trouble... our little lady is quite the Fashion Guru!

I went to the shops the other day to get some new trainers because my feet are sore (another side effect of the chemo!) and my lovely daughter spent ages picking a 'treat'! She initially picked a snorkling set, then changed her mind and picked a new swimsuit...

...but she settled on these wonderful new headbands!
