Last week Rod had to work in Jurien Bay (about 3hours drive north) for the week, so, seeing as it was going to beautiful weather and we could stay in the house where he stays, I decided to head up there with the kids from Monday till Wednesday! It was a nice little getaway, good to see what Rod's been busy with, to not be lonely at home while he's gone and to relax and soak up some spring sunshine :-)

The house we stayed in with Rod, his co-worker Brent Geurts and
Des Heys who was also working up there

On Tuesday we said hi to Rod at the job site and then headed into town to this great playground which is right on the beach.

After playing on the toys for a bit we moved down to the beach and I built a pool for the kids. I didn't plan it very well, because none of the waves went near it to fill it up with water, so here's poor Devon trying in vain to get some water in it!

chillaxing, or rather, roasting...

time for a bit of lunch on the grass area

and then of course an ice-cream

This was Wednesday morning...had a little walk on the beach

and then popped in at Rod's job. He was polishing concrete on the top floor
so we had to climb up the ladder every time and then Rod would let us
go down the 'lift' (the contraption to the right) to get back down :-)

polished concrete folks!

Rod and Brent hard at work - trying to get the hand polisher thing working again.
It'd decided it had had enough
