January Happenings

 January is always a busy time with beach holidays, birthdays and harvest. The beach house gets a good work out. The family love their time down there where they can catch up with different family members and all the cousins. Something is always happening. Birthdays, sleep overs, treasure hunts, riding bikes and picnics in the park.

It was also a great time to take the kayaks out to the Servi Resi for everyone to have some fun.  Lots of laughter, swimming and fun was had by all.

 Best of all the kids were able to tip their Dad's into the water!!!!
