Beach with the Grants :)

On Sunday we went to have lunch at the Grants. It was such a nice time! We had a lovely lunch then went down to Muizenberg beach, the weather was amazing and the water was so warm!!!!! It's almost as if we aren't getting winter, only a prolonged summer, but hey, I'm not complaining! You know how people always say which their favourite season is, I have to say I LOVE them all! God made each one so unique and every season there is so special, they are all so different, but so amazingly beautiful! People always say, "oh it's just cape Town weather" but they always say it in a bad way, with a sigh. I have no idea what's wrong with Cape Town's weather, I love it here! Our city is so stunning and I don't think I ever want to live anywhere else! :D

The boys all got along very well, all playing together nicely.

The parents talked and talked and talked all afternoon!

We had a whole load of chocolates for dessert, YUM!

Josh, Alexis, and me :)

The guys took along a rugby ball.

There is a large man-made (I think) sand dune on the beach at the moment, Alexis and I sat on it for a while and raced up and down it a couple of times.

Alexis carried her dog, Le-Lou, when we raced.

The boys smartly wore their costumes so they could swim, lucky :)

It was such a lovely day! God has made such a beautiful world! I absolutely love the beach! Today at Looking Glass we were talking about whether we would rather live on the beach, in the country, or the city. I would love to live near the beach! I'm so glad we live near the coast!

Random :)

OK, here is a random post :)

next to our lounge there is a little room, a very pointless little room. So while I was at a sleep over my parents decided to give the room a point :) It used to be a cluttered little computer room (ok, maybe it did have a point) but now........

before

It's a dining room!!!

after

Our previous dining room was very messy and cluttered, hiding our table, now we can actually eat at it! It's so exciting! :)

When my mom came to pick me up from my friend (after the sleep over) we went to the beach. Here are a few pictures, the other little boy is Zak's friend Kade.

So that is my random mixed up post :)

A little bit of sunshine

On Thursday we went to Muzinburg beach for a walk. Mom was taking some pictures of me with her new camera!!!!

The weather was overcast and windy, but its was great anyway!!!!

colorful!!!!!

The Beach

On Thursday morning we went to Danger beach with the Woods. the boys had a great time playing in a pool that they had dug in the sand. there were lots of sharks around so we didn't go very deep, it was very cold too!

Like i said, not very deep!!! :P

then in the evening we went to Kommetjie Lighthouse to have a picnic.

It was to say goodbye to the Woods, I'm missing them already :(

It was really great to have them here, and I cant wait to see them again!! :D

My amazing 13th

Wow! Yesterday was my 13 th birthday, it was so amazing! In our house the birthday tradition is we all wake up and pile into our Mom and Dad's bed to open presents. This usually happens very early, for me it was 07:00......

When we finished Mom and Dad surprised me by taking me out for breakfast at Mugg and Bean in Constantia, where I ate a Chocolate Overload waffle, the name does this waffle no justice! I definitely couldn't finish it on my own! While we were there they gave me a purity ring, something I've wanted for a while. They each gave me a card as well. It was really special for me!

After that Mom and I went to Blue Route shopping mall so I could buy myself an iPod with some money Mom and Dad owed me. Mom also got me a nice pair of summer shoes, do the blessings ever end????

When we got home we packed a picnic and made our way to the beach with my cousins, who came down to be with me on my 13Th, and their auntie, Tessa. We had a wonderful time looking in the rock pools!

After the beach we drove to the most amazing ice cream shop, where I had a half scoop of Belgian chocolate and a half scoop of lemon sorbet! It was like a party in my mouth!

Thank you to everyone who made my day so special! I got amazing gifts from everyone, I'm so happy!

One of my favorite gifts was an air ticket from Mom and Dad so that I can drive back to the farm with the Woods, stay on the farm for 2 days, drive up to Natal for my Great-Grandpa's memorial service, then fly home with mom, who is also going up, but is flying both ways.
