What lovely sunny weather we've been having lately! Perfect weather for a trip to the beach. So off we went to Formby on Saturday for a picnic & some summery fun in the sand & sea!

This was Annie Joy's first real beach experience out of the pram & she loved it! (This photo shows you a 'typical' Annie face!)

As usual, sand castles were made, holes were dug & bucketfuls of sea water collected in a vain attempt to fill castle moats. Sadly, the orange bucket is now no longer with us as someone stole it while we were trying to get rather a lot of sand out of Luke's eye which was a little bit traumatic! No long term damage sustain thankfully!

Timmy loves running through the sea puddles at break neck speed! Trousers were abandoned shortly after this photo was taken!

And Annie enjoyed paddling once she got used to the idea of her bare feet touching the sand. When we first took her shoes & socks off she sat with her feet up in the air so they didn't touch the sand & every time she put them down onto the sand again she squealed & wriggled her toes & lifted her feet up again as quick as a flash! It was really funny!

Isn't Luke gorgeous?

Little Annie toddling towards her Daddy, her brothers & Formby's wonderful sand dunes. I love the sense of freedom & spaciousness that there is at the beach.

Lee dug a hole in the sand. Jordan asked him how far the hole would go. Lee said 'All the way to Australia'. Jordan thought that was very funny! And then Timmy wanted to be buried in the hole which he thought was even funnier!

Ice creams on the sand dunes. Every trip to the beach MUST have ice cream whatever the weather (except for last time we went apparently... Timmy told me that I said they couldn't have an ice cream because it was too near tea time. I don't remember though!)

The boys loved playing in the dunes. It did look like good fun!

Before we headed back to Liverpool we went for a walk around the Red Squirrel reserve. Timmy found a lovely 'deck chair' to sit in & rest his weary feet. This is my favourite picture of Timmy ever I think.

The bluebells were out in the woods & looking spectacular!

Sadly, due to the Squirrel Pox, this was the only red squirrel we saw in the trees during our walk. He was a cute one though! We loved him so much we brought him home with us! ;o)

Annie missed most of the walk as she was so tired from playing on the beach. Jordan enjoyed pushing her pram around the woodland. He's a great big brother!

I was really envious of you all being at the 'seaside'! Good job you went last Saturday as there's a jolly cold breeze today. The pics are superb!
