Jensen’s birthday

We went out to logwood castle for Jensen’s birthday. It was on a farm just outside Port Elizabeth.

The kids had a ball. They had a small track for quad bikes. The parents had great fun riding the kids around the ‘race’ track. Although I will be sore tomorrow, I don't quite fit too well on a kiddies quad bike! My knees were around my ears most of the time.

Kayra was more interested in riding the horse, of course!

Annual street braai

After watching the Boks pummel the Poms we went to the annual street braai. The kids spent most of the evening in the pool, again.

They basically passed out on the floor after supper, completely exhausted.

A great relaxing evening was had by all. It was great catching up on all the street skinner!

Jodi’s birthday

We had a great day at Jodi’s place. There was a giant foam castle that kept the kids busy.

After the party we played in the pool while dad braaied wors for boerie-rolls.

Kayra, even with suntan lotion, ended up a bit of a pink prawn!

Farmer Tim strikes again

So Shirley was weeding and managed to find some of my secret sweet potato stash. This bugger is the biggest I have grown so far!

Sunshine died

Sunshine the budgie died. Thankfully we haven't had a burial for a while, so it was easy to find a spot to bury the bird.

The kids wanted to help digging the whole, but we would have ended up with a hole that a horse could fit in.

Jorja, of course, had to find some flowers to put on the grave.

Lola, as usual, had to keep an eye on her all the time to see that she was ok.

Heather’s birthday

We had a hectic Saturday. We started with the kid’s rhythmic gym evaluations, each kid at different times of course. They both did well and should be in level 1 next year.

Then we went to Featherfoot farm from Heather Snow’s 6th birthday party. The kids had a great time and the adults caught up on long lost skinner.

Bathroom madness

So I was going to have a quiet relaxing bath, when I opened my eyes they were staring at me. So much for privacy!

Beachwood concert

The kids had their end of year concert. The theme was the FIFA world cup and all the countries participating. Jorja was a flag waver and Kaya a Waka-Waka dancer.

They both were very good and had a great time.

Makeup mayhem

So Shirley found grandma Dora’s old makeup and decided the kids could play with it. This is the result!

Happy birthday Ouma

We went out to St Francis late Friday afternoon for Ouma’s birthday. We had a great braai with friends from their braai club.

On Saturday morning, after loading the trailer up with wood, we headed home. The kids had a great time, pity the visit was so short!

Silkworms

Silkworm season is here. They are going through an amazing amount of Mulberry leaves a day. Shirley cant keep up!

We have some spinners, so the kids made up some shapes and they are busy spinning now.
