Don't say...families aren't entertaining.
Our Beach Holiday can be summed up with the following 6 Themes...I will resist the urge to upload 1000 photos to demonstrate each point....but...just understand I could.
1. Uncalled-for Underwater Copying - When I asked R. to explain the photo she told me that she was being ME posing for my blog. Hmmm.
2. Treasure Maps Galore - Not sure why but G & X drew detailed and danger-filled treasure maps. Here's X using my coffee bag to make his map look old.
3. Ivy - what an easy baby to take on holidays - having her 'poolside' brought them all togeher to make faces and watch her smile.
4. Eating Out with Toads and Ironing Boards -Went out for brekkie to the local cafe and X holds up his bacon and remarks that it looks like a squashed toad. We had to agree. Then, on our last night (as has been our ritual for the past 4 years) we went to the Sunny Village for dinner. In a prominant corner was an unexpected ironing board. Perhaps it's a cutltural feature ? Admitedly, you can enter through our front door and see our ironing board...so who are we to judge ?
5. Forced Outing By Really Mean Parents - during the week we started to notice that it became increasingly difficult to shift them from the pool to venture out further...simple trips to a new beach or to the shops became power struggles. I am glad that we did insist becoz on one such ocassion I caught up with my first ever flatmate from Mackay in my first year of work 22 years ago. So nice to see her and one of her very talented kids. We were also blessed with a short visit from J...always super to have X's "God" around.
6. Poolside Carry-On - It didn't take them long to discover that they could blow up their rashies with the spa bubbles and oh, what hilarious muffled giggles ensued for the entire week !
