Last week we experienced our first family holiday. I have a full review coming up this week, but I wanted to share part of the holiday here. I love to document the ordinary moments which we experience as a family. Often these moments are also magical to us in their low key way.
We decided on recommendation from some blogging friends to head out to Tenby to see what it had to offer. It was freezing and threatening rain when we arrived, but nothing could dampen our spirits, as we set off to explore this attractive seaside town.
We wandered around the town, taking in the brightly painted houses (cream, blue and pink seem to be a recurring theme) and found ourselves at the top of a coastal path. We descended to find a wonderful cove-like section of the beach, which was deserted apart from the occasional dog walker.
As we explored our surrounding, we snapped away on our phones, while playing with Baby.
We couldn’t believe the difference in the light of these pictures, which haven’t be altered or filtered. They were all taken on the same day within 30 minutes of each other.
It was so wonderful to spend time, just the three of us, in this beautiful setting. Despite the cold Baby was happy to play in the waves, showing her ducks the sea.
She would wait for the wave to come in and as it got close would run off screaming. Only to go back immediately for more.
At times she needed to be rescued as her little boots sank into the sand.
We met a beautiful dog, who stopped to give Baby cuddles. I think she was rather taken with him.
We all love the beach and the weather doesn’t deter us. However, there was something very special about the time we spent on the beach at Tenby.
Definitely an experience we will remember for a long time.

Lovely photos, especially the last one. I’ve always wanted to take a visit to the beach in the winter time (avoid all the summer crowds and actually take in the scenery). This is so wonderful, and something that I may actually have to do with my daughter soon. Thank you for sharing!
Author
Thank you. We love the beach in winter, sometime maybe even more than during the summer. I hope you get to take your daughter x
I’ve seen photos from Tenby before, it looks lovely and despite the cold it looks like a beautiful day for your break there. Lovely to see Baby experience the sea side, looks like it has made a real impression on her. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos on Country Kids.

We went to Bluestone when Elsa was almost 5 months old and we took some beautiful photos on the beach at Tenby too. It’s so pretty there, and even though we went in January she still dipped her toes in the sea. We had a lovely time and I would love to go back there one day!
