Loren's Birthday






its nice having one's birthday on a monday as one can celebrate the whole weekend... we started with a nice massage at a spa on friday then dinner. I managed to escape Nate and Ike by offering them pop corn and cartoon watching after dinner with porpor.

On saturday, we went to Casalinga, its a gorgeous place and with the shortcut from our home its only like 10 minutes away, we should go there more often. They now have a great chocolate bar (see pic) and also a coffee special thing with beans imported from all over africa (pity i don't drink coffee, loren was very tempted).

On sunday we had brunch at a nice river setting called river place (www.riverplace.co.za), too bad Ike was so sleepy and grumpy I didn't get to take pics of the place, it had a nice river meandering thru (the kids throwing rocks here), on sundays they set up in the gazebos and also have a jumping castle and a playground for the kids. It was a nice nice sunny day with good food (yogurt, scones, muffins, fresh fruit and the optional omelette or big fry up).

Not sure why loren's cake has 4 candles but... maybe the guy was rounding up.

And here is his birthday gift, the "throne" seat or a chieftains chair... the only condition to this chair is if he over invites people to shabbat, I will not sit on a small stool next to him! For those who want to get him something... the chair may need a soft cushion...

The last pic is a pig and a sheep that nate made for dada's birthday.
