Aidan's Minion Party

My cousin, Madelein, has the most adorable little man - Aidan. He turned a great big ONE (1) on Friday and my princesses were invited to attend his Minion Party yesterday, 29-Nov-2014. This is what he got up to. I trust that God will bless and keep him save for years to come. Happy Birthday Aidan - Congrats Madie & Cossie!

Strawberry Picking

My wife and I always want to expose our children to fun things to do in and around Cape Town (and while we are on holiday). One idea that's always been circling our minds was to go and pick our own strawberries at Polkadraai Strawberry Farm, a quick drive from Kuils River towards Stellenbosch on the Stellenbosch Arterial (route M12 - Polkadraai Road). This was our funfilled Sunday afternoon. Hope you like it! John

Lights Out

You got to love South Africa. Our electricity supplier, Eskom, has once again given us the short end of the stick with power cuts. Luckily one can get some serious shots in the dark. Do you agree? John
