Holiday Fun
A 75-foot boat ride to Santa’s Island was enjoyed by all kids big and small. Their eyes lit up as we got closer to the shore. The island was illuminated by a roaring bonfire, 20 nautically decorated Christmas trees and an A-frame house set up for the perfect Christmas celebration. As fast as the boat hit shore, the children were off. The Candy Table was their first stop. Then on to the bonfire to make s’mores, followed by a game of tug of war. Next, the big activity of the night: The Christmas Ornament Hunt. A very small sailboat ornament was hidden under one of the hundreds of rocks. The prize for the guest who found the treasure? A brand new iPad. A traditional holiday meal followed the festive fun. Finally, the big surprise: Santa and his elves (from Phoenix’s Santa Claus and Company) arrived via boat. Little children sat in his lap to share their Christmas wishes. As he left, he handed out navy-and-red-plaid filled stockings to all.
