Taking time out with Family

I have been missing in action this month! Our family took a well deserved break to Thailand and Singapore.

What an amazing trip!The food (see Mummas Family Kitchen for all the goss), the people, the country, the sunshine, the culture - all captured our hearts.

The kids travelled extremely well and adjusted to all the different types of adventures along the way. Scott and I had a chance to chill out and re-evaluate our goals and the upcoming year of 2012.

The best part of the trip was being with our family with no interruptions - no mobiles, no emails, no rushing around, no schedules. Just us! We would spend entire days by the pool in the resort with the kids swimming, making friends and ordering their own cocktails from the pool bar.

The kids grew over the time we were away. They became more independent and more courageous. Kye became an expert at negotiating prices, Hanna became the dare devil for all adventure and Lukas tried all foods possible.

A family holiday does not have to be overseas or for a lengthy time, even a weekend away is awesome whether it be camping on the beach or in a cottage in the bush. A family holidays will bring you closer and increase the communication. To me, its priceless.

Here are some photos from our family album:
