The Easter bunny also brought some temporary tattoos and we all had so much fun with them (including mommy and daddy who sported some for the whole holiday).
Monday morning started out cloudy and drizzly but cleared up very soon and we had a great morning at the beach. After the usual lunch and nap we spent the afternoon at the pool.
This sand sculpture was huge.
One of the cute little "extras" at San lameer - the impala and bushbuck that roam the estate. The monkeys- not so much fun. You have to close all windows if you go out as they raid villas. But the kids love their antics.
Please please tell me you did not build that sand sculpture? If so, i don't want to know you anymore - you are far too good a parent!
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely holiday pics.
Greatthat you had a wonderful time.
The cosmos flowers are so beautiful! So glad nothing happened in the presence of the puffadder!
ReplyDeletelove the cosmos
ReplyDeleteI also love the cosmos, but this year there hasn't been that many on the road between Pretoria and the farm. Its normally a show of pinks and white, but now they're only scattered here and there
ReplyDeleteShayne, no, never. We did not actually see the guys who build it, but apparently they were 4 and hang around for the Saturday and Sunday for donations and then moved on.
ReplyDeletePuffadder! *shudder* So glad you missed it.
ReplyDeleteThe sand sculptures are very cool, the detail on them is impressive.
I love that shot of the kids coming down the steps, they're just adorable :-)
What beautiful pictures! I am so glad you all had a great time.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to ask what is a puffader? I have never heard of one.
Oh! my life I am so glad to hear that no harm came to you "re: puffadder".
ReplyDeleteYour photo's are beautiful.
Those sand sculptures are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers! Would love to see all the other pics. I think that sand sculpture might have lasted 2 seconds with my kids on the beach. Instant demolition!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photo's of your kids having such fun, have seen those sand sculptures in Cape Town as well, find them so amazing.
ReplyDeleteFun was had by all I see.
Ooooh, I love the cosmos! My favs are the dark purple ones. That sand sculpture looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteCool sandcastle!
ReplyDeleteCat, how I love the sensitive Little Miss leading her Little Brothers down the steps...adorable. :) That completely Makes My Monday. Thanks so much for playing along.
ReplyDeleteI"m curious too...what's a puffadder?
ReplyDeleteSounds like so much fun - and despite the mischief they cause - it sounds fun to see monkeys cavorting around!
Love the flowers! It makes me want to take a walk in that field (as long as there are NO snakes!).
ReplyDeleteThose sand sculptures are awesome!
Oh wow! Just beautiful! I knew I wouldn't be disappointed by your photos! The flowers are just stunning and I am in LOVE with the photo of your three kiddies holding hands :)
ReplyDeleteA puffadder is one of our poisonous snakes and a very gross looking one too. I am terrified of snakes - my only real phobia.
ReplyDeleteHT - it is incredible how all the kids, big and small, looked at that sand sculpture and did not try to break it.
What fun! I love the sand sculptures.
ReplyDeleteI hate snakes - ugh!
Those cosmos are stunning! And WOW at the sculptures!!
ReplyDeleteThe cosmos is gorgeous. We saw such nice fields in the Drakensberg recently.
