Ask Eryn what day it is and her answer is always “Fiday, it’s movie day” We have started a little traditional in our family whereby Friday nights, after bath and supper, we make a big christmas bed and watch a movie together.
Last Friday night was the first night that Camryn joined in, normally he is fast asleep by 07:30pm but he has taken to suprising us with some really long afternoon naps and Friday afternoon’s lasted 3 hours. As a result, he was still as the saying goes, bright eyed and bushy tailed after his bath and so he too was able to watch Rio with us (well about half of it at least)

Saturday morning took us out to Spier wine estate (thanks Aunt Petro for the recommendation). We spent our morning viewing the Cheetahs and Birds in the various rehabilitation camps, and then headed off through the most amazing rolling lawns to have a meal at the restaurant there. Peter, Eryn and myself enjoyed a delicious meal, while camryn swung on the swing… As the saying goes, he has a bird’s appetite! Well in this instance the birds actually ate more than him as they kept stealing the food off his plate.
Eryn asked "How do we go inside, mommy?"
We greeted the owls (gaggi's favourite bird)
Then we took a walk to the restaurant

And of course I couldn’t resist using the spectacular views as backgrounds for a few family photos:

And we ended off our weekend with a picnic on the dunes and a bit of 4x4ing in the soft sand (Peter replaced the bakkie’s tyres – need I say more…)

The dune that we attempted climbed (successfully by foot, not quite so successfully by vehicle)
And the new trick Camryn has learnt when his mom and dad won’t listen to his plea’s to take his jacket off:
He gets his sister to do it for him!
And she is ever so proud of how she has helped
