Jorja’s second bottom tooth finally came out while they were in St Francis. At least the tooth mouse managed to find its way there and leave her R7 for the tooth!

Mountain Zebra National Park
We arrived back safely from the Mountain Zebra National Park just outside Cradock. We were there from Wednesday with aunty Taryn and uncle Peter. We camped in style, the Riddins aren't used to T-bones on a camping trip!
Wednesday was 35°C and unbearable, we spent most of the afternoon in the swimming pool. Every night we had a thunderstorm and the rest of the time was mostly overcast and bearable.
We saw a lot of animals, although no cheetahs nor rhinoceros. The weather might have had something to do with it. We say red hartebeest, black wildebeest, eland, gemsbok, blesbok, springbok, buffalo, and hoards of zebra of course. We also saw mongoose, suricats, ground squirrels, field mice. Hoards of birds including the Cape Eagle Owl and the Secretary Bird.
A great time was had by all and we cant wait for the next camping trip!
Kayra read her 1st book
Kayra read her first book from front to back on the way back from Cradock. It was Dr. Seuss’ One fish two fish red fish blue fish. Jorja fell asleep about half way through it.

Roller skates
The kids decided they wanted roller skates and they raided their piggy banks and birthday money to see if they had enough. Jorja was very close, but Kayra has a big IOU!
We ended up with pink inline roller skates for the girls. They are a bit big at the moment, but at the rate they are growing they hopefully will last a while.
We went down to the beach for a roller skate. Jorja had a few falls, one on her bum that had her crying for a while. They had a great time with their friend Kayla who came with. She got their interest in skating going.
After an hour they were all hot and bothered and very tired. A great time was had by all.

Jorja measurements
Its a bit late, but Jorja is now 1.145m and weighs 21kg. A year ago she was 5cm shorter than Kayra at the same age. Now she is only 1cm shorter, so she has been through quite a growth spurt this last year!

Jorja lost her 1st tooth
Jorja’s bottom tooth that has been wiggly for a while is finally out. The tooth coming out behind it did most of the work. The tooth next to it is also coming out, so we should be losing the second one soon!

Patty pan harvest
We had our first harvest of Patty Pans. Seems like we have been asleep as there were about 10 on the floor rotten. We will be harvesting every day now. They look and taste great.
