Enjoying Life ...

To celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary...
we took ourselves off to Gold Reef City
for the weekend...

Bradley runs through the 'water-mist cooling station'

they take good care of the little ones in this part of the park...

lots of water stations and a spot to cool off...

and we sure needed it :)

Bradley's reaction to an awesome acrobatics display...

Jenny the donkey 'enjoying life...'

as Bradley brushes her soft coat...

SO cute they way she came over to where the brushes are lying...

when we arrived to visit her...luv the way she is closing her eyes...

The smiles and 'laugh-out-loud' reactions speak volumes...

i was rather impressed with and happy about the

'all-in-good-fun' nature of the kids...no one was mean about things :) 

The Dodge 'em Cars was his ABSOLUTE favorite ride...

he just couldn't get enough...!!!

Such Fun :)

Bradley enjoyed

Measuring Up...

:)

We all enjoyed the 'train' ride...

that takes u from one side of the park to a 'station' on the other side...

The cooling station...

a huge fan turning water to mist...

lovely on a sizzling hot Summers day...

Bianca cools off...

Children enjoying life ... it's a little like running through the sprinklers...

Brandon enjoying listening to music...

music makes life better !

I enjoyed taking this shot...

naughty me ;)

I REALLY enjoyed 'making them' hug this tree... 

Most big trees have this sign on them...

Made me smile :)

My 3 enjoy one of the water rides...

Bradley was issued with a life-jacket as there was no adult with them...

only other kids....I like !!! 

What i loved about these girls was that they appealed to me

to take my shot [of them] while i waited for mine to come floating past...

U could just tell they were ENJOYING LIFE :)

Yikes :o

no thanks...!

We had just walked into the park...

 and Brandon 'made me' go on this ride...

crazy but fun :)

We all went on rides we never thought we would ride...

we walked and walked and then walked some more...

We all laughed and talked and felt grateful ...

we applied sunblock and lots of it ...

we felt frightened together...calmed each others fears...

cheered each other on... held hands... felt happy and blessed...

in short.... we were ENJOYING family LIFE :)

Through Merita's Lens...

Very proud of Daniela she came second in high jump at the athletics meeting, even though she decided to scissor jump she jumped 1.08 meters.

Angel

My husband decided to buy my daughter a horse.  Daniela was so excited.  Worth it just to see her face when he showed her the horse …………….priceless.

That's all for the topic...'Enjoying Life...'

Thanks for visiting :)

Under African Skies...

It's not called 'Sunny South Africa' for nothing...

Clouds rolling in...

Our skies can also become quite dramatic

Merita's Lens...

We Are Back :)
