One lovely sunny spring day in Little Eleville, the
Neptune sea otters were enjoying the day at the beautiful beach. They lived in
a small cottage 5 minute walk away and are always spotted in their little
rowing boat and making sand castles in the sand!!
This day was no different; Caspian was teaching his eldest
daughter how to row the boat. Shelly was getting much better at it now than
when she had her first lesson two weeks ago… all she did was a lot of splish
splash splosh! “That’s it you’re doing really well” Caspian said to his
daughter every now and again to encourage her.
Nerissa was watching her baby sandy making sand castles in
the sand… this was Sandy’s favourite activity!
Meanwhile the Beaufort polar bears were traveling in the
burgundy car, through the country lanes. Father Sven was driving and discussing
with his wife where to go on this lovely day.
The children Valentine and Verity
were also talking… “Daddy, can we go and visit the Neptunes at the beach
please??” asked Verity “Well I can’t see why not, we are only 10 minutes’ drive
so let’s go!” Sven replied
10 minutes later, the Beaufort polar bears arrived at the
beach… To see the Neptune’s having a lot of fun… “Verity look… Shelly’s rowing
their little rowing boat!!!” stated Valentine… “Ooo I wonder if she will take
one of us in it?”
Shelly heard the car and spotted her friends Valentine and
Verity, and started to wave at them.
Her dad Caspian then helped her to bring
the boat back into shore.
Before
too long Sven said “let’s get out the car and go and meet them...” Sven also
made sure to take the suitcase with him.
Nerissa and Vania sat on the picnic rug while they watched
the babies having fun in the sand…
Sven
and Caspian decided to see if they could catch some fish on the sea edge, who
knows what they will catch.
Verity and Valentine were asking shelly if they could take a
trip in the boat as they were really excited seeing her rowing!! Shelly had
another idea, “maybe before we go on the boat… as our dads are fishing… why
don’t we collect some shells?” “Hmmm that sounds like a good idea” they said
together
Before long Verity, Valentine and Shelly found loads of
shells on the beach and put them in their bucket… it ended being very full!
“Wow look at all those shells, aren’t they beautiful.”
“Wow kids, how full is that bucket with shells… you’ve got
loads of pretty treasure there!” Caspian said as he pulled another fish out of
the sea! “Mm looks like we have some lovely fish for tea, Yum…” Sven said
As
the fathers took the fish to their wife’s
The children decided it was time for a trip in the rowing boat!! “Right lets go to the boat… I hope we will all fit in!!”
5 minutes later the children shouted to their parents… “Look
at us!! Oh this is so much fun!!” They all said together. The parents looked
and smiled but Caspian was a little worried as shelly had only learnt two weeks
ago… “Well done Shelly you’re doing really well!!”
Before long the children rowed the boat to their families
and got out. Sven and Vania said "it was a lovely trip but soon it was time for
the twin’s bedtime and they needed to head home".
The children all said goodbye, Valentine and Verity took two
shells home and their father Sven was allowed to take one of the fishes home
for their tea.
The End
