The kids were up early searching for Easter eggs. There were LOTS of them so it kept them busy for a while. We found eggs days after!

Port Alfred weekend
We took the kids out of school and went to Port Alfred for a long weekend. After a quick visit to the big pineapple in Bathurst we made our way down to our accommodation.
We stayed at Rugged Rocks this time, the Crab Cottage. It was a bit of a squeeze as we went with the Hofmeyrs. The kids didn't mind, all 4 of them slept in one room.
We fished a lot, but never caught anything edible. Mostly gully sharks, cat fish, and Shirley caught a Puffer fish.
Of course we braaied a lot and had to have ample lubrication.
The weather was good except for Sunday when we left. Had to pack in the rain.
A great time was had by all. We will definitely be going back.

Jorja lost her other front tooth
When we got back from St Francis Jorja managed to get her other front tooth out. She is a real haasbek now! Guess the tooth fairy will be coming tonight.
St Francis Bay
We went out to St Francis for the weekend. Did a bit of fishing on Saturday afternoon but caught nothing. Sunday we went down to the beach to fly kites. Kayra and Jorja managed to get their kites tangled and one broke loose. We could see it way in the bushes, but couldn't get near it.
We had amazing weather and a good time was had by all.

Summerwood gala
Can’t believe its that time again, seems just the other day that Kayra had her 1st gala. Last year Kayra couldn't swim a length so she only took part in the width event. Not so for Jorja, she swam the length events for crawl, breaststroke and backstroke.
Kayra did very well in the breaststroke, midway for crawl and near the back for backstroke, she was too busy looking around.
Was quite difficult distinguishing your kid, they all look the same in the water with goggles on. Shirley wasted lots of photos on other kids.
Mom and Kayra took part in the mothers race and dad an Jorja took part in the fathers race. The kids had to hang onto the parents backs, generally drowning them in the process!

Idiot of the year
So after the 20 kids in the pool at Jorja’s birthday party making whirlpools I discovered that there was a leak in the pool. Thankfully I now have a portable pump so I pumped most of the water out of the pool into the still empty rain tanks.
Rushed around to find a patch for the pool. None of the pool places had anything, typical. I managed to find a pool repair kit at builders. Guess what, you have to fix the pool with the water in!
So I pumped enough water back in to fix the pool. Moral of the story, ready the instruction first!

Addo
We decided to go to Addo for the weekend. I hate going for such a short time. But Shirley didn't have much of a holiday over December with the identification contract she had to finish. Amazingly there was 1 spot left which we took.
The kids had a great time. They didn’t waste any time making friends with the family that camped next to us.
Kayra’s new camera stopped working the 1st night. She managed to take 200 photos that afternoon though!
The weather was fantastic, I even ended up in the pool. We had a great time and cant wait to do it again. Hopefully next time will be for a bit longer.
