What an AWESOME weekend we had in Wakkerstroom. Its a really small town, so when you forget to pack nappies there is not much that can be done till business hours or a drive to Volksrus about 30 mins away...However there is so much to do... We enjoyed riding our bikes, going for walks, drawing, painting, reading, looking for crabs and frogs and just general R&R...
On Saturday there was the annual Easter market where we enjoyed delicious pancakes (and yes so did Zara) and also took Zara to see the farm animals. She loved the little bunny and baby chicks but was a little bit hesitant to sit on the horse. Eventually after sussing him out and getting me to sing some "horsie" nursery rhymes she was happy to sit and stroke "Bubbles'" mane.
The Easter Bunny also made a delivery to the Wakkerstroom garden and whilst enjoying a few chocolates she also enjoyed opening the presents he left for her. Quite a clever bunny to think that winter is just around the corner and Zara got some pj's, a woolly hat, top and bubble bath.
In the evenings it did cool down quite a bit so Zara was fascinated by watching her Dad make a fire. She was very good about staying away from the fire and in the mornings when she came through she would warn us that its "shisa - tot" pointing at the fireplace.
Knowing how her cousins enjoyed swinging the gate, we took the liberty of teaching her . She almost got the swing of it and was really chuffed with herself.
I think, having no commitments to rush off to, and just having the freedom to run around the garden and come in one side and out the other side of the house combined with plenty of fresh air was just what we all needed...
