A picnic at Small Bay

Last night we lay in bed (now now, stop worrying this is a family blog, he he) and Peter asked the question “so what are we going to day tomorrow?” Yes, can you believe it, my hubby who lives from moment to moment actually suggested planning an event almost 12 hours in advance! Woohoo

Because of the amazing weather we are experiencing in Cape Town we decided to make the most of it and have a picnic at Small Bay. A little bay at the beach down the road from us with a great park next to it.

And so what felt like forever, (getting two excited toddlers ready, dressed and fed is not a 10min job) we were on our way – on our bicycles. Although Peter had a few creative excuses as to why we should take the car, I subtly passed his shoes to him and asked him to trust me. After a  little ride to the pick’npay to pick up some fresh rolls and ham, we made our way to the park. Peter, of course, thought the ride was a great idea! (men will be men). By the shrills from Cammy and Eryn singing all the way, I guess they enjoyed the ride too!

And so we spent the morning playing in the park, playing with the ball, playing in the sand, playing in the waves (well more like ripples) and yes, generally just playing –

Sharing some ice-cream and somehow Cammy managed to collect all our ice-creams:

And of course a visit to the beach just wouldn’t be complete without getting wet!

good fun in the water

My little boy has decided the ocean is not so bad!

 

And after all this fun, we cycled home for a nice looonnnggg afternoon nap! Aaahhh….
