Weekend away


We had a fantastic weekend away in Ntumeni, just outside eShowe.

It was really peaceful, and outdoorsy - had a little dam, with a row boat and a foofy slide! We are now ready for our own fishing rods....

Clubhouse had a pool, and TV and meals and a pub with friendly staff and friendlier locals....

The boys had a grand time, falling asleep dog-tired each night!

Warplanes,Tanks, Guns, oh my!

Adam, leading the charge into the WWII airplane display area, where they had fun checking out the Hurricanes, Messerschmidts and Spitfires....
The signs all said : "Please do not touch or climb onto the exhibits"....yeah, right!

The guys, checking out some big guns....

What a tussle between them, all trying to turn the wheel in different directions !

Centurion tank - and, as one dad said: if these tanks can be damaged by a few modern-day 5 year old boys, they surely would not have won the war....


These pics were all taken at the SA National Museum of Military History, where the boys had loads of fun. We had a little picnic of choc-chip muffins, peanut butter sarmies and juices under a tree, with Granpa Peter helping out.

Though Aziz and Nico did a disappearing act which gave the adults a tad bit of stress, the morning was a great success.
