On the Fifth Day of Christmas Vacation

Merry Christmas! It certainly wasn’t a white Christmas, but the wind was strong enough you might consider it to be a blustery day. If it weren’t 78+ degrees outside. The kids woke up on time, I mean why sleep in on Christmas morning, and got right into opening presents. Gifts included items from The New Hampshire cousins, Kayliegh, and books by daddy. I only wish Maddie and Ben were more effusive in their appreciated for their gifts…

After a few hours by the pool, lunch, and just in general bumming around we ended up at the ocean which just happened to have a riptide warning, 7-8’ swells, and a yellow flag. Or as I like to say, nearly perfect conditions. The ride was strong, but the kids did a great job of playing, safely anyway. They even ganged up and helped their little brother.
