Today we took a day trip out to a beach where my family would occasionally go camping, with my Aunts, Uncle, cousins, Grandma etc when I was young. My cousins, brothers & I would play for hours in this very water which fronted the campsite. It was so nice to take my kids there today & watch them run & play in the same water, where I have so many memories.
I particularly remember the year one of my cousins was seven & I was eleven, because she thought it was cool that our ages rhymed. We collected soldier crabs in a bucket… our younger brothers went fishing with our dads & caught fish to eat… the family played cricket on the beach…. it was new years & some of the other campers set off fireworks…. it was good. The realisation today of how vivid & good those childhood memories are for me, was another reminder that time spent together doing the most simplest of things will always be time invested well.
Beautiful, and so nice you can share that spot with the girls and also remember and share the memories so clearly with them.
