oh december......holiday fever!

on the 7th december my mom, dad and kids and i went to a family festival just outside stellenbosch. i won a family ticket for 4 to go to the festival. it was on a very hot day, luckily we got a spot under a umbrella. the kids had so much fun....hoola hooping, dancing and watching the remote control planes. dante has some serious moves when he hoola hoops, moon walk and side steps, cool dude!

let the holidays begin!

this year i had a full 4 week holiday, we closed on the 12th december and

re-open on the 12th january, whooop whooop!!!

and this is how the holiday started..........

lucius & chantell invited myself and the kids to zevenwacht wine estate 

on the 14th december for a picnic / braai and so that i could take some family pics of them. 

the 15th december myself, the kids, chantell and cayden went to the waterfront. first breakfast at mugg & bean and then off to the oceanarium. dante was there years ago and was still young and abi had never been before. 

on walking out we found father xmas, kids wanted a pic with him and they got xmas hats for free. that put a smile on their faces. even cayden got to get a photo with father xmas.

on the 16th of december i took the kids back to the waterfront. we went to art of the brick, a art exhibition made of lego. it was awesome to see. 

from there we took a walk to the reptile trailer. the guy running it was very nice and let us take photos inside, which you are not allowed to do, BUT he said the kids were so well behaved that i could take some pics for them. 

then a walk down the seapoint promenade 

tbc........

17 till 28th december

a outing to radloff park for some roller skating and model plain flying. abi had a friend over, megan. so cute how they helped eachother. otto showed dante how to fly and then he showed me, it is damn difficult, hahaha

langebaan & port owen with the kiddies. go pro selfies.....

we stayed in otto's parents house, such a stunning view from the house.

dante starting the fire for us and abi making sure he is doing a proper job 

out on the beach  

piggy back ride :-)

we took a walk from the house down to the other part of the beach

another part of the lagoon where we sat and had lunch and then a swim    

from langebaan we went to port owen, where otto's parents boat is. 

it was the first time that the kids slept on a boat, they were so excited.

we drove around to show the kids the area

christmas morning, opening up of gifts. we went to spur for christmas lunch, that way i didn't need to cook and do dishes (big grin on my face)

another outing or 2......rhodes memorial and then to world of birds in hout bay

i can see you 

day out to palmiet river, some bouldering in kleinmond

and then some swimming & jumping in the river. 

my rubber arm was twisted to jump off the rocks on the side of the river, i said yes. why, i have no idea. when i got to where i was suppose to jump from, i froze. i was too scared. with some persuasion from otto i jumped. he jumped with me to make me feel better. i landed at a bit of a angle into the water and hurt my coccyx, hahaha, stupid me! 

otto was brave enough to jump from the bridge. there is no ways i would of. 

back home and trying out the new slackline 

had an awesome holiday with the kids doing the touristy things around 

cape town and being able to take them to kleinmond, langebaan and port owen.
