Easter Holidays

The runny nose that nate brought home from school has infected us all. Poor ike has it the worse coz he can't blow his nose. So fora few nights he was waking up several times, back to my trying the eucalyptus oils and raising one side of his mattress. Last night he slept through the night but I was as usual watching my watch, wondering if he may have suffocated.

Easter is one long weekend here! Nate must have had like 8 easter chocolate eggs from the easter egg hunts in school. He even recognizes them in the supermarkets. It was a bit of a scramble to get things done before the weekend and next week being a short week will probably be a slow week for S Africans.

here are some of the activities we brought nate to do, we also took ike out since he can't sleep and sleeps better upright in a pouch attached to me. We too nate to snow city, www.snow.co.za, for tobaganning. Its actually a big slope covered with white carpet, they also have ski lessons there. Nate was scared at first but after some M&M bribes he wanted to go then he wanted his bribes. I think he'd like it more when he is a bit older? Zeda can take him to real slopes.

We also found this great place for breakfast, its called the secret tea garden and its outdoors and the kids can go jump in jumping castles or the palyground, the space is really big enough so you don't feel stressed by older kids and too many things going on, the gardens are of course lovely.

Here's a shot of montecasino and the big fountain and of course we pulled out a few cars to keep nate occupied, the big mack truck killed many hours... do buy that if your kid is into disneys' cars!!!
