Our anniversary trip - Hermanus

Cath, lil Emma and I made our way to Hermanus for an anniversary weekend. We had wanted to leave the lil one with grandparents but my mom reckoned a weekend would be too much for her to handle and Cath's folks aren't around - well her mom is, but Emma doesn't know her well enough cos she's away so much.

So we just took the lil rat with us. It wasn't great to be honest. It was moerse windy which made carrying a child around tough. Shame man, lil Emma couldn't really stand up - it was that windy.

But the place we stayed was nice and we did hire a babysitter via our guesthouse and we got to go out for a 'rosemantic' supper.

Emma had fun unpacking dad's stuff...


We went out for luch one day and Emma enjoyed playing peek-a-boo with the tablecloth.



Whales. Two of them. Well, maybe you can see their backs.

It is beautiful there. Then again, cath makes any scenic shot that much more beau... okay, okay, I'll stop.

Hermanus by die see.


---------------------------------------------

We taught Emma that a Tiger goes "Graaaawwwwlllll" so this is her opening the page of her book with the tiger on, and growling at it. So cute man.






And her with a dummy... she refused to take a dummy for months, then one day, picked it up as a toy and stuck it in. She doesn't really use it properly. But she likes it every now n again.









---------------------------------
On the way home from Hermanus, we stopped by UCT to watch the Athlone cooling towers be demolished... but they went down five minutes early, so I missed the money shot.


The observers watch from outside UCT...






Going...
