Dave and E went fishing with Mikey and Gemma today and came home with a bin FULL of big fish. Ethan reeled in his biggest fish yet, an impressive 8 pound snapper – hooked and brought to the boat all by himself, I think today was the best day of his life! He caught 3 keepers (all snapper) and one …
The Summer of Surf Lifesaving

And we are definitely going back, I can’t believe I didn’t …

My Guys Rip
We spent Sunday morning at the beach out west and both boys were charging! Ethan has been riding without training wheels for just three weeks now and he charged the BMX track – HARD!
