Halloween Moments

HALLOWEEN was first celebrated 2,000 years ago by the Celts. The Celts lived in an area now known as Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France. The Celts believed that the dead returned to earth on Samhain "Summer's End" when the harvest ended. So a Celtic festival of Samhain was celebrated on the night of October 31st.

Today HALLOWEEN is celebrated by people in many parts of the world on October 31st.

Paddle Boarding Moments

Paddle Boarding

Everyone has their favorite sports. The newest craze is paddle boarding. Paddle Boarding is the fastest growing water sport in the world. Paddle Boarding first got it's start in Hawaii in the 1960's and now it's here to stay.




I first started paddle boarding a few years ago and now it's my favorite sport. There's something special about standing on a board surrounded by the water and gliding away with beauty and nature all around. Paddle Boarding is an amazing sport that happens to be really good for you too.

Paddle Boarding is a total body workout that improves your balance, cardio fitness, core strength, and flexibility.
