First, let me wish Merry Christmas to those out in the Internet who celebrate it!

We spent the day with telephone calls to family. This was the hardest part of the day. This was my first christmas season without my side of the family. Long story, but between hockey and cost of fuel, my sister couldn’t handle doing christmas this year for the whole family. Add to this, my mother can’t go North in the winter, well, Buffalo was right out for her.

But then the day got better. We went to CoCoKey Resort north of Boston. Click on that link and take the tour (near the bottom). Yeah, that’s about what it looked like. We got there at 11 and stayed until 3:30. The kids were in the water almost non-stop except for 3 potty breaks and 1 "You are NOT going in that pool again until there is food in your body" break. They were wiped (and so were we). The place was filled with three types of people, 1) Jewish families 2) Muslim families and 3) Chinese Families (and before anyone gets all "don’t you mean Asian?" I saw, nope, clearly the families were of Chinese origin.) It was great to have a diverse crowd there…I even got to see, for the first time, women and teens swimming fully covered! I was thrilled! I had heard about swim wear for the Muslim woman who wanted to swim, but keep herself covered. These outfits were amazing! They were made of the same quick drying material I had in my swim shirt, but covered from head to ankle (feet were uncovered). Awesome! I loved seeing it!


The girls loved it! Luna was sliding and sliding and sliding. Soleil? My goodness, you would have never known that a year ago, she was terrified to put her head under water. I am incredibly wiped out right now. I need some serious sleep. Tomorrow? The Luna has daycare, Soleil has "Kids’ Club" and Jay and I are working at home since work is mostly closed. (the buildings are closed- but we still have to work. Gotta love having your work place run by two different places)

Have a wonderful day and may all be happy and bright!

OMG, that place looks amazing! We don’t have anything like that here (mind you, we also aren’t buried in snow five months of the year, lol). Sounds like a lovely way to spend a day!
