A visit from my big brother

In July 2011, my big brother and his family came to visit us. With him, he brought the most wonderful weather. For one whole week in winter, we had radiant blue skies, no wind or rain, and soaring temperatures of up to 27 degrees.

We were able to share some awesome memories with Kevin, Roz and Jay. In particular I cherish the special times that our two toddlers Eryn and Camryn shared with them. There were many romping sessions where Eryn and Camryn climbed all over Kevin, Roz got to be the patient a few times while Eryn played “doctor, doctor” on her, and Jay was just a big play mate for Eryn, from reading stories to running in the waves with her.

Good food was shared

Stunning sunsets shared

Jason is like a big brother to Eryn. He is amazingly patient and caring towards Eryn. He just goes along wherever Eryn drags him and plays along to whatever game she has decided is the game of the minute!

So no, we didn’t lock our guests in our house and subject them to our toddlers the whole week. We did some of the tourist site including Table Mountain (where we were almost blown away)

Amazing how at the foot of table mountain there was no wind. We thought we had picked the perfect day for a trip to the top of table mountain. Alas, when we arrived at the top and stepped out of the building, wow – we were almost blown away…by the wind and the view of course.

To the right, you will notice in true Cammy style that he decided not to view CPT with the binoculars but in fact to turn them around and try view himself!

And of course with such brilliant weather, we spent some good times at the beach.
