a not so lazy weekend

I dont know how but swimming in/ around / near a waterfall seems to be part of the Australian dream, so Saturday we piled the family in the car and headed out to Serpentine falls (about 50 minutes from Perth).

A $11 national park entry fee gives you access to the falls, picnic areas and walking trails (in this heat, no thanks). We spent the day splashing around and sunbathing on the rocks. Silly old me forgot to take a picture of the falls, but dont worry it's only a dribble down a rock at this time of year (no mysterious girl-esque photo shoot for me!)





Sunday we decided to spend the day crabbing from the kayaks...

crabbing isn't really the most taxing activity, you load your nets, paddle out for a minute or two and drop them and then relax....

then pull them back up and hopefully find a big ol'crab or two

and when you're tired of crabbing, a kayak makes for the perfect sunbathing spot..

and if you get too hot, it's only natural you capsize yourself and cool off...

and when the sun sets and the chill sets in you carry your crabs home and cook them up
