A weekend on the beach

Last year fro Christmas, Paul's parents gave us a voucher for a weekend at a dog friendly house in Apollo Bay. We finally got around to using the voucher and it ended up being pretty good timing. You know that feeling you get when you come back from a great holiday and you're depressed and don't want to be here. Well, this gave us something to look forward to.

The house was lovely. It wasn't on the beach, but it was walking distance from the main street and the waterfront, so it was in a great location.

After much coercion and some reluctance on Paul's part, we took the girls down to the beach. Myf had been before, but wasn't keen on the waves. Morgan had never seen the beach before. We found a quiet little spot where a stream met the sea, so the girls could play in the stream and not get buffeted by the waves. Myf was quite hesitant at first, but Morgan thought it was heaven.

I took loads of photos and got quite a few action shots of the girls that I think are hilarious.

This is how it started. Morgan bounding through the water, whilst Myf tests the waters and is careful not to splash.


Who put this ball here? Now I have to get all wet trying to get it out!


They each have to have a ball, otherwise Myf gives up chase and lets Morgan get the ball, as she's faster on her feet and will get it anyway. And Myf needs the exercise!

Swimming!!

She sees it...

She dives for it...

She gets it...

It starts with the head...

Then it moves to the body...

And finally it ends at the rear...


Myf shots (not all of which are action shots)
I'll get it eventually, I just have to wait for it to reach dry land.

Ready, Myf...

Go!




Some shots of the two of them...


Myf did eventually get a bit bouncier in the water, but this was towards the end of the second day, so it took her a while to warm up.


After a day (or an hour) at the beach, you need to get in some hard core sleeping, so that you're ready for the next day.


Morgan is such a poser. I think she was a model in a previous life.




Myf is quite the opposite. She just won't sit still for photos. Consequently most photos of her are when she's asleep or when she's playing.




And here are some random shots from the beach...
