So gr...Your family anecdotes always make me laugh!! So great that you've found a place that the whole family are happy at though. We tried a Kids Club once (in Fiji), and our children lasted 2 hours in there. My oldest announced he wasn't going back to "child care" as he was too old. Then the others followed suit. So we had a 10 day holiday in Fiji with no Kids Club. I think we were the only family actually spending time as a family (and so we went home exhausted to prove it. The kids had a wonderful time). We are just getting the hang of family holidays, now that our youngest is 4. Thankfully we no longer have hours of naps in the middle of the day, special food needs etc etc… travel can be stressful!!! xHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-59407921802944903462014-08-09T01:33:21.305-07:002014-08-09T01:33:21.305-07:00You are creating lots of wonderful family memories...You are creating lots of wonderful family memories of happy times Jody, and looking great along the way too!
