Our SA Trip

The reason I've been out of touch is that we've been out of touch the last little while is that we've been visiting everyone is South Africa... And let me just say this Cape Town was ridiculously COLD!!!!!!! I was expecting some sun - not the same type of horrid weather we have in Dublin!... Thankfully JHB and Pretoria have performed better and we are enjoying lovely sunshine here. The boys are loving being with the family and we have had just a great time with everybody. Jason and Lisa are a big hit here as they have lizards and a cat which I have found are just kid magnets.
Ben's birthday is planned for tomorrow - at a party venue with pony rides and jumping castles and party games - so I'm sure that he's going to have a ball. After months of telling me how much he wants a Barney Birthday he changed his mind about two weeks ago and now wants a Super Ben birthday... which means the cake and the theme had to change. The great thing about being here is that I don't have to do anything! The cake was ordered and the venue do the food, so all we have to do is show up... I will write more about our holiday when I get home, but here are some photo's to keep you up to date...


The story with this photo is that at Roy and Beth's house Ben made cookies for the first time... here he is taking them out of the oven and they were hot, hot, hot!!!! Also, the whole night he decided he was baker ben and that's all he'd answer to.
