A party at Lolapark

Hope through the hoops

We went to a kids birthday party at a theme park yesterday.  Lolapark is in Boksburg and I didn’t even know it existed before yesterday, but what a cool place it was! The kids had a ball.
The party was amazingly organised, but a bit of overkill.  There were 2 clowns organised for the kids who...

I’ve been meaning to go to Lolapark for ages. Your photo’s are stunning Jeanette!

Shew I’m glad Bradley is okay, it could have turned out so much worse. How scarey for you :(

What a stunnine venue! The boys sure had a ball. I just love their faces when they were on the roller coaster! Glad Bradley’s ok!

Connor shouldn’t feel too bad. My 17 yr old is scared to death of clowns. Nothing else though. :)

Looks like he had a blast regardless. ;)

Corey (251 comments.) - May 31, 2009 - 10:05 pm

oh my….what a place. Kids parties sure are crazy these days. Whatever happened to a simple party at home? I can’t believe you did all that…and missed so much. WOW!

I’m sorry Bradley got hurt. How scary. eeekkkk….

OMW! Sounds like B’s ok – accidents happen so quickly.
What an amazing place! Love their faces on the ride – sheer enjoyment!!
Hopscotch with hoola hoops – what a good idea – will buy more so we can do that!
Jumping ‘truck’ looks like FUN!

India is 3 weeks old

Stretching over mom's shoulder

I went to Celia’s house on Friday at lunchtime to drop off her DVD of photos from the newborn photo shoot 2 weeks ago.
I had planned on taking photos of the beanies that my colleague makes, by putting them on a teddy bear, but I asked Celia whether we could use India as a model...

A Trash the Dress Session in the veld – Part 3

Brick all around

You remember in the first post I mentioned that there were 2 ladies, Cindy and Michelle, that were wearing evening wear?  Well, seeing as I haven’t posted any of their photos in my previous posts, I think they deserve a post of their own.

And to Cindy and Michelle, sorry you’ve had to wait so long ...

Getting made up

It’s Bradley’s school concert this week and the theme is Disney.  His class’ act is the 3 Little Pigs, and he’s one of 3 wolves.
Isn’t it the cutest outfit ever?  And yes, I am biased

Last night, we went to see the show, and it was so very cute.  Connor thoroughly enjoyed it too.  He was...

A Trash the Dress Session in the veld – Part 2

Jess in the grass

As promised yesterday, here are more photos from our Trash the Dress photo session we had on Sunday afternoon.   These are mostly from the veld around the ruin, and on the road.
If it wasn’t for the grass in front of Jess’ face, this would be my fave for the day… I just didn’t have enough...
