Fun with friends

Sarah is in South Africa at the moment, and thankfully we managed to see her and the kids today before they jet back to Uganda.  The original plans were to meet up at Lemon Rose Farm, but we thought that it would be closed this weekend; so I invited everyone to our house for a breakfast/brunch thingy.   Everyone brought a few things to eat and drink and we ended up with enough food to feed everyone for the breakfast and a small lunch for the 7 of us and our kids (and my sister and her friend that arrived for lunch as well)!

It was such a wonderful day, with the kids spending most of the time in the pool and on the jungle gym.

This is serious stuff…

And last but not least… Connor getting out of the pool.  He stayed in this position for ages moving closer and closer to the edge of the pool.  I was praying that he wouldn’t fall backwards.  This child of mine is going to give me heart failure one day… I actually wrote about some of his antics on my other blog yesterday!

Giving Mom heart failure

It’s such a pity she’s going home on Tuesday already, we were all really looking forward to a girls night out with her too!

PS.  If you’re wondering about the colours on the photos, I’ve used the Pioneer Woman Seventies action on them.  I’m loving these actions at the moment!

They’re all great shots but that last one is so so adorable! Love it. As usual, I’m so envious of the pool weather…but I love coming here and feeling the warmth through your pics :)
