Family is the best.
Greetings and welcome to my sweet blog. Who else agrees with me that family is the best. One of the many gifts that we can be grateful to God for us the gift of family.

It’s a beautiful thing to be surrounded with precious people who we love and are loved back in return. Family timing and bonding is a great thing that’s always to be remembered and cherished.
Having always being away from home, last Christmas, I happened to be around my family and shared very precious moments with them. I must say that it was one of the best things that happened to me in a long while and I wanna share all of the details with us.
It was a beautiful Christmas morning and the day before, my sister-inlove has already intimated me on the plan for the family to visit the beach for the Christmas celebrations. I had visited the beach alone before for a me time but this time around, I would be going with my family.

I was excited and anticipating all of the charm and the goodness a good family time would do to my soul. It’s been something I’ve always long for and here it was right at my beck and call. A good family time.
The preparations started early as there was a lot to cook and prepare. The preparation took quiet sometime and sonnnest we were all dressed and ready for the beach.
They came to where I was staying at my cousins place to pick me up and my cousin and his wife and cousin joined in the company. It was a large company consisting of my brother and his wife with their three girls. My sister in-law, sister and brother and also their house help and my little nieces was not left behind.
We all drove over an hours drive to the beach. We arrived toward the evening time because we actually left very late. We bought our tickets and settled in soonest.

The whole beach was filled with all manner of people who were there to celebrate the Christmas and have a good time out. There were horses to ride and guess what, for the first time, I rode on a horse. I was initially skeptical but later had to try it and it was fun.

We had a lot to eat and drink. There was fried rice and salad with stewed cowleg. There was also barbecue fishes to be eaten and there was malt drink, soft drinks, juices and bottles of wine all for the celebration.
I love to serve hence after the picture section, I jumped into serving everyone from the smallest to the greatest single handedly. When everyone had eaten, I settle down and ate too.
Then the ocean was calling my name, what would it be like to get to the beach without having a time out with the salty ocean water. I was dragged into the water by my sister in-law hence I had no choice than to swim. It was so much fun.

Thank goodness that I came with an extra cloth. When I was done with swimming, I went to change into a dry clean cloth. We had times to stay and enjoy the entire view. It was so satisfying as the bangers was shooting off the beach and creating beautiful patterns on the beautiful night sky.
It was merrying all through and a day of fun. My best Christmas so far. We stayed for about four hours on the beach. When it was about 10pm, we packed up the remaining pieces of our properties and headed come in our cars.
It was a beautiful timeout with my family and all thanks to my big brother who sponsored the trip. Indeed families are the best and family dates like this has a special way of creating unforgettable bonds.
Thank you for reading through. What’s your take on family times out?
Hahah... Great bonding time. I missed.🥲
