A Big Day With Bailey

Sunday began with watching TV downstairs for Craig but that didn't last long.

It was soon time to get out in the sun to kick a ball with Bailey and Aunty Annette again.

Craig's Dad really likes the next picture because he captured the ball in flight from Craig's foot!! It's flying pretty well, don't ya fink?

During the warmest part of the day Craig and Bailey played indoors. Bailey has a really cool camera-phone that he put to use quite often.

Aunty Annette bought a big page of Christmas stickers for Craig. He only stuck a few of them in his colouring book because Craig's Dad wanted to save the rest for the long flight home.

Snacks were had at the dining table with Craig and Bailey spending pretty much every waking minute together.

After lunch it was time to go to the beach. Bailey thought they should travel by car to a beach that is about 10 minutes walk away if you walk as slowly as a 3-year-old child. He was out of luck though and had to walk with everyone else.

At the park near the beach Bailey found a very spiky piece of fruit lying on the ground. The spikes were truly sharp.

Bailey and Craig had fun on the slide in the park even when they weren't moving.

Craig became very excited when Bailey began playing with the park's water tap.

The tiniest dribble of water had Craig giggling like a mad thing.

Bailey kept sticking his head under the tap and getting wet while Craig stayed close but not close enough to allow water to get on his face.

The two boys stayed together wherever they went in the park. Bailey proved to be quite good at taking care of Craig.

Then it was time for another snack at the shops near Craig's Grandma's house. Craig ate the cheese from Bailey's sandwich while he waited for his own food to arrive.

Back at Craig's Grandma's house Bailey decided it was time to play with the hose.

Bailey was very good at creating a shower for both Craig and himself.

But Craig didn't like it when the water started falling on his face.

So, Bailey allowed Craig to hold the hose. It was very kind of him and Craig had a lot more fun when he was doing the spraying.

But the wind was blowing very hard and it was late in the day meaning Craig started to become so cold he was shivering!!! Craig's Dad had to wrap him up in towel to keep warm. Craig was actually much happier about being wrapped up in the towel than this picture would suggest. And, he was soon taken upstairs and put in a nice warm bath that stopped the shivering very quickly.

Craig's Dad took a picture of the view towards the ocean around sunset. It's really very nice at that time of day.

Dressed in a long-sleeved shirt to stay warm, Craig had a drink to keep him going before dinner.

After dinner he had yoghurt for dessert. Craig had a very healthy appetite the whole time he was in Australia.

Not long after dinner Bailey began to look sleepy even though Craig wanted to play some more. In fact, it wasn't long later that both of them went to bed.
