Rachel in Daddy Hat

Rachel loves hats, this is one of Daddys hats that she is wearing here. She is such a lady, not Mommy genes those.

Swimming Time again!

We're in the pool again, it has been very hot lately and we are all very grateful to have the swimming Pool, Rachel loves her new life jacke that she wears and Mommy insists that she doesn't step into the swimming area without it. She still loves playing with her boat.

Our Holiday

Near the middle of November we has a family went on our holiday, we drove from Durban to Estcourt, Rachel was suppose to be sleeping in the car but didn't till we got there, spent the night there. Drove from Estcourt to Howick stayed there for the night, Rachel slept on the way there at least. Drove from Howick to Underberg stayed there for 2 nights, Drove from Underberg to Kokstad, stayed there one night, then drove from Kokstad back home. That is very basically what the trip envoved, but it was so much more.
We visited 3 different families in Estcourt and stayed at the 4th families house. Rachel was great went to everyone and thought that this holiday stuff was wonderful all these new places and new friends for her to play with. In Howick we visited 2 families and stayed with the 2nd family, The Wilkensons were great and Rachel helped out in their Garden, The Webbs little son Keagan, a couple of months older then Rachel loved her company for the afternoon. The next morning we went to visit the Pienaar/Venter family in Maritzburg before heading out to Underberg, the old man was so happy to see us and Rachel went to him like he was her Grandfather, but that is just what Jan Pienaar is like, Can't believe that Suzie has 5 children now. In Underberg we stayed with our good friends the Roths and it was there youngest sons birthday the day after we arrived, so we got to celebrate with all of them, it was great to see them again and Rachel loved the open spaces were she could just run free. They played with bubbles and Rachel got to see all the farm animals. She even got to sit on a tractor.
From Underberg we went to Kokstad to see our friends the Thomas's they had just had a baby girl, named Morgan a week before and we were very blessed to be on of the first to see the little beauty. Their son Iain celebrates his birthday the same day as Mommy which is the 6 November so we had a present for him too. Rachel enjoyed playing with Iain and Uncle Clive got the sprinkler system on and Rachel had a ball of a time in the spray.
We left early the next morning to get back to Durban in time for Bradley to be back at work by the afternoon, but all in all was a wonderful Holiday.
