2013 - It will always be remebered as the holiday in which...



We saw the famous Mtunzini zebras wandering around town like its nothing out of the ordinary
Scooters and bicycles ruled (and we took ours along for the first time ever in our new bike rack for 5)


Where we only got half way through the 4x4 swamp route due to the very wet conditions.
We saw storks and more storks in the marshland.

 Most memorable for the kids, without a doubt - they caught their very first fish (released back into the lagoon to be caught another day)


And maybe most memorable of all - two little boys swam on their own  - yes the pics are with dad, but these two pics are just precious in their own way. They gained so much confidence. C was doggy pedalling by the end of the holiday while L mainly paddles under water, coming up for air every few bits. They turned into swimming water babies.
It was a great holiday - just too short. We now know that we can camp for more than a week with the kids, the Princess helps at times, they boys have their own little jobs and it's much much easier. I am once again amazed at the progress one makes on holidays - this time with mainly the swimming of the boys, but many more small things. Every year when camping we had leaps from all 3 kids in some or the other area - it must be a combination of relaxed parents, relaxed kids, a lot of time together. I am not sure. What I am sure of is that it works, and that without a doubt it was so worth it. Leaving you with 3 pretty pictures:


Taken with nifty fifty.

Back to work 2013

So today the usual run of the mill starts for me. Back at work and back to the routine. It promises to be a busy year, but maybe not as stressful as last year. I am ready to take it on!

I will never catch up with all the blog post I missed, but so be it. I of course have much much to post about and share but for now, my favorite photo of our time at Mtunzini on the Natal North coast.

It will always be remembered as the holiday in which...

someone got rid of their training wheels.... (The Princess)
someone at last braved the waves... (Mr C)
and someone else became king of the pool in his polyotter. (Mr L)

It will also be remembered as the holiday the Princess and I saw a fish eagle catch from a barge (actual catch just missed on camera)

We had the loveliest holiday camping - lots of sleep, lots of swimming and lots of sun. Lots of great family time too in Mtunzini. And to log off with a  more favorite shots:



BTW I have over a 1000 unread items in my reader. Seriously...
