Grace's Birthday

The reason for our drive to Sydney was to celebrate our Granddaughter, Grace's 5th birthday. It was a surprise and the first thing she knew of it was when we walked in the back door singing Happy Birthday. She was gobschmacked.
One of the things she wanted to do was to go to Balmoral Beach for a swim and to play on the beach. This is a shot of her in one of the rock pools playing with all of her friends. :-(
On the drive to the beach she suddenly piped up and said "I can't stop smiling". :-)
On the left in the distance is North Head marking the northern entrance to the Harbour and on the right is Middle Head.

I was about to write that it's a shame her cousins couldn't have all been here to swim with her, but I see Sonia's mentioned it already. I bet Grace's smile of surprise when you and Nanna walked in the door was a beautiful thing.
