Yipeee we are now officially on holiday, sitting here at our campsite in Knysna, the kids are pumping prawns, the boys are roasting duck and chicken for dinner and Mandy and I are on our pc's. The weather here is stunning and so warm, but the best part is there is no wind!!!
The journey up was uneventful, buy VERY long for some reason. We stopped along the way to buy a beading book for James so that delayed the trip slightly, but at least we are here and firmly entrenched int he dirt. The camp site is absolutely beautiful, we are situated right in front of the pool, closest to the Knysna Lagoon and the trampoline's, so we don't see the kids for dust the whole day. The coming up here was loaded to the hilt, so much so that Rob could not even see out the back windows, we had to bring bedding for the four of us as well as Christmas present, so going back should be much easier.
Gran on the other hand took the easy way out and flew up to Jeffrey's Bay yesterday, so we will link up with her when we get there.
Andy and Mandy have decorated the caravan with Christmas lights and it looks so pretty. We are here now for 5 nights and then off to Jeffreys Bay for Christmas.
Before we left we had a Christmas lunch with Nana and Oupa and Ingrid and that was so nice to spend the day together. Check out the photo's of the 'breekers' . . . It was so hot that the kids spent the afternoon in nana's pool playing silly buggers with their Christmas presents.
Ingrid has kindly agreed to feed our zoo whilst we are away, hope she can cope with little Tigger nuzzeling into her hair and sleeping with her on her pillow.
Hard to believe, but I was actually swimming this morning for about an hour with the kids, the water was lovely and much as I am in the pool every day, I couldn't even make one length under water, which only Tiffany and James did manage. We all seem to have gotten burnt on our first day away (tut tut) even though we put sunscreen on all day and I was sitting in the shad of a tree, obviously the rays got through.
The kids and Andy all went out ont he boat with he tube and were gone for more than an hour, then swam the rest of the day. This evening the kids have gone off to the local caravan shop to buy a prawn pump and bucket and are now down at the waters edge pumping prawns so they can go fishing tomorrow. You can imagine the squeals of glee/horror at the prawns having to be picked up. What a bargain, R85 for the pump and hours of entertainment for the kids - couldn't be cheaper.
We off to read my book some more - will post some more soon.
