Three cheers for the Aussie lifeguards
Helicopter rescue demonstration
This is the Aussie Skin cancer motto. "Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat". 1 in 2 people get skin cancer. We have found that we put on sunscreen and have to reapply every 1 -2 hours to prevent getting burned.
This past weekend we went to another beach. We arrived in time to see the lifeguard rescue demonstration/practice and then Abbie got a bad cut on her toe and the lifeguards got to practice on her. Daddy saved her from getting stitches by going down to the local newstand and getting some super glue.
Going back to the lifeguards....we have been impressed with how serious Aussies are about keeping their beach goers safe. When Abbie got her injury, we had 4 lifeguards around us within about 2 minutes. They have a swim area marked on the beach and within that area they have guards in the water, on the shore and on a tower with binoculars.
While at the beach, we perfected the art of boogie boarding. You can see from the pictures that we all enjoyed the surf....maybe a bit to much.
