Jake at the Beach Side

The first fine sunny day of Jakes stay we headed off to Charmouth for a day at the sea side but he insisted we were going to the beach side.


He could not wait to start building sandcastles and as the tide was on the way in we set about it straight away. Jake instucting Grandad how to make the moat.


Then of course we needed more water and we had to make many trips to get just the right sea water.

Returning with even more water by now Jake decided he needed the bigger bucket.

We had a lovely time on the beach but eventually the tide came in and washed our castle away so we went up the beach and he found some sand.

The last little bit of sand among the rocks but he still managed to build more castles.

Later we went to the otherside of the beach where there was still some sand and he bought a boat. He had such a lot of fun with the boat and someone elses castle.


Jake and his boat.



He spent a long time going round and round with his boat until the sea came in and we had to leave. We had a great time in the field after that and he even managed to stay awake all the way home.
