It seems that Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen turned to his old ways and developed an amicable friendship with ex-wife Denise Richards and their kids. They are spending the holidays together in their "modern family vacation."

The whole family is spending the holidays in an unnamed tropical location (probably to shoo away paparazzi and reporters). The troubled former actor of sitcom "Two and a Half Men" actively updates his social media account in Twitter with pictures and details of their vacation.

Charlie Sheen is enjoying some quality time with Denise and their two daughters, Sam and Lola, and the six-month old Denise's adopted daughter Eloise. One of the photos showed the family swimming with the dolphins and another show all of them on a table sharing a meal.

Upon their arrival in the resort, the family posed on the balcony of their hotel, which Charlie posted on his WhoSay account. Charlie Sheen donned a shaggier hairstyle and in one photo, he was caught fishing wearing a baseball shirt.

Denise also fired tweets with details of her trip with Charlie and the kids. Treading down the memory lane, the last time that Denise planned a holiday getaway with his former husband, it ended up in disaster. Denise accompanied Charlie after he trashed his New York hotel room.

Earlier that day, he was found naked and drunk in Plaza Hotel with porn star Capri Anderson after they had alcohol and drug marathon.

2011 is definitely a crazy year for troubled actor Charlie Sheen. Earlier this year, he got in trouble with CBS execs and former boss Chuck Lorre who axed him the top rating comedy sitcom. Also, there were reports that he is not in good terms with the mothers of his children - Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller.

Will Charlie Sheen change for the better this time?
