Photos to make you jealous

For all those who read my blog that are in the grip of snow storms and a white Xmas, here is what WE DOWN UNDER have to deal with - a beautiful summers morning at the beach, while the kids enjoy Junior Surf - MERRY XMAS EVERYBODY......


All the kids getting their morning briefing
Omanu Surf Club
Simply stunning - Omanu Beach
Mount Maunganui in the background
The kids doing a warm up before they start - maybe Mum & Dad could learn something from that hmmmm....
Boys against girls tug of war - the girls kicked the boys ASS!
Liam ready for the beach flag sprints

Look at 'em go!!
The kids got a tow out to the waves in the surf rescue boat - "soooo scary but soooo much fun" was the verdict!
"The Big Guy" arrived in a surf rescue boat
Santa is mobbed by adoring fans

Santas outside of malls must sweat their butts off down there. A summer time Christmas just doesn't seem right to me, but it sure looks nice.
