After this we packed up and headed down to the beach. Eli had a lovely time building castles (well he actually seemed to enjoy destroying them more than building them), running up and down the dunes and jumping the little waves as they came to shore.
After we had had enough of the sun, we wandered off into the forest to go searching for fairies. We found a beautiful fairy tree, saw fairyhorses (butterflies) and some bright purple berries (definitely fairy food).
The forest was beautiful and full of the sounds of birds in the trees, lizards on the ground and Elijah calling the fairies.
We found a big dragon - we didn't go too close because he looked scary!
Finally, in the depths of the forest, I found the most beautiful fairy!
After this excitement we went back to the car and drove down to the Mystrom to give the playground a workout. Elijah loved the slide and play-house and we had great fun on the swing together (we didn't go too hight because I got a bit scared).
After this, we wandered down to the tidal pool and Elijah enjoyed a paddle in the water.
We finally made our way home for some lunch and some quiet time. We read "Magic Beach" together and Eli spent a good half hour sitting quietly looking at the pictures. 
Before we knew it, it was time for Elijah to go back home. I can't wait for our next exciting day together!
