...Haga Haga
The day for arrivals... I flew in from Joburg (I am pleased to report the airport check-in on this leg was hassle free) and not too long after I arrived, Mark arrived in from Cape Town...Ian was designated meet and greeter at the airport and the bus station, which we headed off to next to pick up his dad, who was also arriving back from Cape Town on the same day. We made a quick pit stop at the Attwood home for lunch, before we headed to Spar for a big shop for the 9 days ahead in Haga Haga.

We arrived at Haga to our beautiful spot...the house that Jack built... (aka the Rice’s). We managed unpack and settle in nicely, before we had our very first visitors. The Rice’s blue combi bus pulled up outside...the doors opened to their kitted out kids haven! For me it had been a year, since the last time I had seen the Rice’s and Kayla, our beautiful little god-daughter (Mark has managed a few visits in between his 2 week Joburg stints) and there has been a new addition since. So almost a year to the day, we were in Haga last for Kayla's very special christening day on Easter Sunday. As soon as she was out of her car chair...the cutest little thing just opened up her arms, when I asked for a hug and she just fell in to my arms! A good start at making Aunty Lu very happy! :) I also met the cute and not so little Joshua for the first time. At 6 months old he is probably about the same in weight (if not more) as Kayla who is almost 2. The guys went off to do their thing (something or another) leaving Shaz and I and the little ones to catch up. Oh man, I cannot explain just how cute little Kayla is....not even 2 but she has such a personality, attitude, spunk, not shy at all, is on the go always and she is speaking so nicely and it’s all done in the cutest and softest spoken little voice. Little blond, blue eyed Josh is so chilled and laid back and also didn’t fuss when I held him. More brownie points for the Rice's kids!
The next few days consisted of lots of catching up with friends, over braais, beach sessions, fishing for the boys, a pizza evening and breakfasts. I unfortunately had developed a cold somewhere along the line (which I later found out was actually bronchitis), so I spent much of my time barking and sniffling and blowing my nose...but I didn't let it stop me (and thankfully I didn't actually feel too fluey).
Next stop Uitenhage and PE for the final stretch of the holiday.
