The most beautiful chapel on a little hill right in the middle of the vines surrounded by mountains!

Zander wants to play the piano at Guys wedding. It was very cute he started positioning in the chapel. Guy and Lianne behind the pulpit and me behind to "say the words" the rest he put in the pews while he played the piano.

Tracey is fantastic full of spunk and happiness. The Xmas hat is because the weekend we went happened to be Xmas in winter. Loads of action.

Zander is a very lucky boy to have Nana who plays with him on his level. She's forever teaching him naughty things. THANK YOU NANA!

Pops and Barbs part 3 Cheetha and Croc farm

Barbs and rafa who is now up for sale! I'm just sorry he is to big for Marilyn or I would take him!!!

After Cango caves we went to the Crocodile & Cheetah farm. Zander at this stage was tired and going drown hill fast!!! We accidentally joined the latter half of the tour which consists of all the big cats. Zander was not interested he only wanted to see the crocs. When we did finally arrive at the crocs Zander fell in a heep when they told him he was to young to go cage diving with the crocs!!!

The guide told us before we entered this section to cover our necks or the bats (flying foxes who are about the size of a small cat) would suck our blood!! Then upon entering he told us they might poop and wee on our heads! Zander at this stage had his neck tucked in and his arm over his head ( well at least I know he listens!!). Not sure if he is a fan of bats anymore!

Would you look at the attitude!!

All in all Zander had a fantastic time and just told me he wants to go back and visit Pops and Barbs for 10 days! Thank you Pops and Barbs for the special visit.

Pops and Barbs part 2 Cango Caves

Barbs, myself and Zander when to the cango caves, and it does not matter how many time you see them they are just incredible! So sad how people have destroyed them over the years! We were very lucky as right at the beginning a really boer separated the group into english and afrikaans and we got this beautifully spoken black guy who was educated in france and when we go to the "concern hall" he sang for us in french! WOW what an amazing voice her brought tears to my eyes!

Zander asked me to take this shot.. go figure..

This is lulu number 2, pops and Barb's new jack russel puppy, who made me realize that Zander was ready for a puppy. She loved Zander and Zander loved her.

Zanders first "snow". Pops said we would not be able to reach the snow even on the swartberg pass, but I was not ganna give up that easliy as it turned out we could not get to the thick snow because of all the traffic!!!!!!!!

Pops and Barbs Winter 2010 part 1

Pops with his kids!

After a short walk on the hill side we went for lunch at a tiny studio / coffee shop. Zander was starving, he wanted a toasted cheese and kept asking for it every minute he even took me into the studio where the chap was making our coffee to show me that he was not making his toasted cheese, again I re assured him that I was sure some body else was making it in the kitchen. Well his sandwich never came but luckly for me he got stuck into the bread that came with our soup. I never said any thing as Zander had finally stopped asking for food as his tummy filled. The funny part is ... the next day the chap who was meant to make the sandwich phoned barbs to apologizes he remembered the sandwich later that night!! So sweet only in a small town hey?

I love the contrast between the plants and the snow!

How amazing is this garden and plant!

I love this picture!!!

Zander loved spending time helping Barbs with all her animal duties.
