#Spotted on a Sunday evening beach walk in Aotearoa #NewZealand

A small human (2) has been told that kite flying time is over. It's tea time. As Dad packs up the kite, Small Human does his best cloak (towel) wrapped dying swan performance on the sand at Mum's feet. The drama. Is. Everything.

Two young humans (11?) have drawn a diabolically complicated race track in the sand with sharp curves and spots that require (not so) perilous leaps. They READYSTEADYGO! and launch into action, only to trip over each other on the first bend, laying on their backs, howling with laughter.

An entire family bolts after a beach umbrella that tumbles end over end as it makes a spirited escape towards the dunes. They catch it triumphantly after Dad makes a desperate rugby tackle and saves the day.

Two small humans (7?) are patrolling the beach drawing circles in the sand around every bluebottle they find. There are a lot today and their mission is mighty. Once they draw their circles they write BE CAREFUL in their best neat writing. They've done over twenty so far.

A young human (8?) is creating a mighty driftwood fort around his beach towel, from where he can lurk in his new lair and inform everyone nearby that they MOST DEFINITELY CAN NOT COME IN! His teen sister calmly collects a bucket of water and tips it over the top. Outraged howls ensue.

Any typos spotted in this post are full of fish and chips. If spotted please ignore the dying swan act when you tell them it's time to go home.
