The way they were!
One year our family took a lovely holiday to New Caledonia ( Noumea ) and stayed at the Club Med Resort. As you can see going by the photograph, it was a long time ago, when you see how small the children were. We liked this place as the children could spend the days doing activities at the Kids Club. While we enjoyed our days in the sun, swimming, shopping ( French shops!) eating delicious food and making use of the paddle boats, and windsurfers.
They even had a Circus orientated activity place and I got to have a go on the trapeze and managed to let go of the first trapeze and swing and catch the second one which was a lot of fun and exhilarating.
We liked New Caledonia, so much that we went back a second time.
All fun, but I digress.... Now back to the photo ~ One evening all the little kids in the group, put on a great performance and lovely show, dressed up in their cat costumes.
Our two are the little ones, at the front left.
I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend
Hugs
Carolyn

Hi Suzi,
ReplyDeleteThey do seem to grow up quickly and sometimes overnight it seems.
How neat it must be to watch your daughter dance.
