African Dreams

My father took our family away for a weekend to Mabalingwe Nature Reserve.

We had a wonderful time. The kids loved being in nature, surrounded by the beautiful African landscape with the promise of wild animals around every corner.

And here they are:

And then a big log fire at night. 

Good times.

Thank you Dad for all the beautiful memories we will take home!

Birthday Breakfast

I had a lovely birthday breakfast today.

Stella loved it most of all.

She had waffles with syrup and fries.

Yup.

August Break: Midday

August Break: Taste

Red velvet cupcake as a late night dessert.

No need to say anything else.

August Break: Looking Down

Sometimes you need to look where you're going...

August Break: Touch

My sweet Stella trying to touch my camera!

Big no-no but who can blame her for trying since clearly her mother is a little obsessed with taking photos...

August Break: Books

I am of the opinion that one can never have enough books... ever.

August Break: Home

is where the heart is...

August Break: Play

Heidi having the time of her life...

August Break: Red

August Break: Selfie

A little self portrait.

August Break: Skyline

I wanted to take a photo of the Utrecht skyline this morning but the skies are grey and somber. So I found a photo taken last week at Oud Valkeveen in Naarden which I thought was more apt to today's theme.

August Break: Diagonals

Time to take back the library books!

August Break: Close Up

Having a bit of a bad day... guess what this is.

August Break: Love

August Break: Yellow

De Moestuin

We went to de Moestuin in Maarschalkerweerd and it was lovely. Pretty gardens, lots of fruit and vegetables being grown right there... a playground for the kids and good coffee. Definitely well worth a visit, even in the middle of a heatwave.

Here are a few photos from our day out yesterday with my lovely neighbour and her daughter. We picked a lot of berries:!
