Alice enjoyed the pool and the beach enormously - she mooched about happily in the water and had lots of fun building sandcastles and doggedly trying to fill up the moat. She must have walked for miles in her attempts.

We ate at some beautiful places, but Alice enjoyed most of her meals at the local Surf Club which served food at all times and did a "mean" bolognaise sauce. Here, she waits for her dinner to arrive with uncharacteristic willingness to smile for the camera.

So the actual day was spent opening presents; enjoying brunch at a local eaterie; going off on a birthday bird hunt, in case any needed chasing...

...swimming...

...if you can call it swimming; snoozing while her parents went out for a posh lunch to celebrate her; going on a ferry ride down the river...

...and actually being allowed out for her own nice meal later that day.
"Allie had fun"; "Allie twoooooo" "Ganny sing Happy Birthday" were the main refrains that day.





Happy Birthday Alice! I know you guys live in Australia but every time I see the sunny weather it still shocks me in comparison to the bitter cold we have here!!! very jealous!
