Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny day so we headed down to the spit. The Purdy Spit that is. Yup, thats right we live next to the purdy spit and it is sure purdy! Sorry, couldn't resist. For those who don't know a spit is "
a narrow point of land projecting into the water." and our particular spit happens to connect us to the rest of the world by cutting through the Burley Lagoon.
The Purdy spit is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Ok, not the spit so much itself, but what you get to see while driving over the spit. The sunrises and sunsets are incredible. The water is never exactly the same color or texture and the wildlife is an added bonus. I never thought I'd be that excited about living near water, but I find that I absolutly love it!
We've recently discovered that our boys like to throw rocks into water (what can I say they're boys). The Spit is a great spot to do this. I grabbed a book and the whole family headed down for a quick adventure. We had a great time. Throwing rocks, reading and going on a little walk. They even found a crab, which Josiah informed me was "broken", aka dead.
It was a fun afternoon, I can't wait for many more to come this summer!
