The week that is!

Sunday, Johan left for Cape Town. The kids and I spent the first half of the week enjoying some real summer weather in Joburg before heading down to Somerset West for 10 days. Johan is in Cape Town for two weeks, so we decided to join him instead of coming during the Spring Break later this month.

Thursday poured with rain and we all enjoyed a rare quiet day. In fact it was quite late into the afternoon before any of us got out of our pyjamas!

Friday afternoon we met up with Jodie and the kids at the usual haunt - Cape Garden Centre, where I discovered what a real adrenalin junkie my daughter is! On arriving, she climbed to the very top of the jungle gym and slid down the biggest slide - HEADFIRST! Oh my shattered nerves!

Today we went to visit Johan's folks in Fisherhaven and I have to say that I saw the funniest thing.... their dog climbing a tree! Just weird - apparently both dogs do it.

On the way home we stopped off in Betty's Bay to see the penguins. Dylan was absolutely fascinated and Larissa kept on pointing and saying "Bunny" It was really worth the visit and as cheap as chips (in fact we didn't even pay the R10 to get in)

We then detoured past the dunes where I used to dune board as a teenager. It is unfortunately closed to the public now, but Dylan had an awesome time jumping and flying off some mini-dunes
