Riding Dunes @ Lancelin

Well I did not get very far with my short brief updates on what we have been up to as I have not really had a chance to get to the computer once home over the last week or so.
Anyway below are some pics of us at a place called Lancelin which is about 1.5hrs north of Perth. There are sand dunes for all to ride on. We were introduced to the place by some friends who live down the road from us. They also have two boys but are a bit older than Reece & Bryce. So it was a real boys day!
Now Bryce is motor bike, car, surf board kite board – you name it mad but when we got there he would not get out of the car therefore there is a lack of photos with Bryce. He was very worried that the motor bikes were going to ride over us and therefore refused to get out of the car and then screamed all morning until we left the dunes for the beach.
Herbert enticed Bryce out of the car and two minutes later I was taking him back to the car.
Reece being Reece just fitted in and had a whale of a time. It was couple of weeks back and even though the sun was shining it was windy & freezing!
The boys all started with a practice round of boarding on a small dune before moving onto a larger dune.
Heath even had a shot at going down the dunes and got covered in sand.
We only hired the boards for a couple of hours from the local newsagent. This little town is a true one horse town basically the newsagent is the guy who is the butcher, baker, hire of all recreational equipment, agent etc.
After the dune riding we headed off to the local pub which is a couple of metres away from the beach. As we got there all of the boys saw the sea and then shot off saying they were going to paddle in the water cause as mentioned it was freezing. Well after 5 minutes their shirts were off and boys being boys they were “paddling” as can be seen by the evidence below. All in all they had a great time and just as we finished eating they were all frozen to the bone and were ready to go home!
All in all another great day out in Perth!
On the way to the dunes we had to wait for this blue tongue lizard to cross the road much to the delight of the boys!
