Family time

One of our favourite things to do as a family is have a braai outside. We usually spoil ourselves with a few packets of crisps and my famous dip while the fire is getting ready to cook on...mmmm....I am embarrassed to say that we literally pile around the little table and consume them like vultures...
(We don't eat potatoes often, so when we do get the chance to eat any form of a potato it's gone sooner than anyone can say 'Starch!')
 
Rachel is unhappy because her little brother just got dip all over her pants...he is happy because he got dip all over her pants!

Look Daddy, I found a snake :-)
The chip eating is then followed with fun time outside, and then we eat whatever it is we have cooked...this time - hamburgers (with the bun - another luxury in our family :-))

Fear Factor

What do worms, fish, chilli, concentrate, baby purity, onions and dog food have in common? They were all items to be swallowed on our Fear Factor evening last Friday. Yuk!!!
 

 
Mopani worms eaten by Zani and Kevin - Kevin was the winner!

Ria eating chillie pilchards

Rachel waiting in terror to touch the next gross thing...

Vince playing the fool...how he got that smelly bone so close to his nose is a mystery to me!

Silvana up against Rachelle eating prune purity...Silvana owned this one!

John and Jeremy hat to eat the hottest Biltong in Krugersdorp

Real dog food

Emiel lapping up the dog food...Leah, his daughter on the left can't believe her dad would do that!

All I had to do was drink a glass of pure ginger beer flavoured concentrate - hectic!

Tuna with butternut purity

Vince desperately trying not to taste his most hated food...ONION

All in good fun hey? What an evening full of laughs! To top it off for me, Rachel even tried a Mopani worm at the end of the evening...crazy girl!

Ballerinas?

Amanda and Rachel still like to play dress-up at times, and this time they decided to get into their old ballet gear...you must understand that they haven't done ballet for at least the last 5 years...so how they squeezed into those leotards is a total mystery. Kids will be kids...
