I am taking you back to the Karoo and our holiday. Some of you may remember that I was taking you on a walk around the sheep farm, ending with the medusa succulents. When I got back at the stone cottage, Boeta was awake and it was family time. We took the yellow ball grandma gave Boeta, the week before and started playing. From this point I will add a note or two, but the photos will talk for them self….
So much fun to kick the ball past daddy…
Every now and then we worked on the ball catching skills. Boeta was precisely 2 years old and since this point we have progressed to catch and pass, but it all starts somewhere…
Got one…
Then mom got an invite to play along…
Daddy snapped up the camera for a few shots… Boeta was really in his element by now, especially now that mom joined in the fun…FULL BLOWN FAMILY TIME!
I took a final shot of him watching a bird on the chimney as the sun was setting, before joining them for some more play.
About 20 minutes later we had to stop and get a fire going. We had a fun day with lots of exploring and walking great distances, it was time to feed the tummies and build strength for the next day.
Boeta looked for the tractor and while mom took a break, dad lit the fire and the adults had a nice red wine to finish a perfect day as a family.
Round about the time the meat was done, Boeta was also running out of steam.
He slept soundly that night, as he does for most nights. We hope and believe that he does so in the knowledge that he is loved and in his dreams he is still laughing and having quality family time with mom and dad.

Wonderful photos! If only all parents would play happily with their children as you do. 🙂
We are having fun too, cracking up at ourselves every now and then.
Boeta will always have such happy memories of his childhood. 🙂
You are building such wonderful memories!
Thanks, hope he enjoys them one day.
I’m sure he will!
He’s growing up quickly. But very happily too. You provide him a wonderful vibrant life full of wonder and security. You are all very blessed.
Thanks, very kind of you. We try and keep a good balance between all that life offers.
Life is good!
Thanks, yes.
Boeta is getting so big and what a great life he has. N.
Thanks, and this was 5 months ago..hehe.
There is nothing better than family time, and it just makes one smile to look at his happy, laughing face. 🙂
Yes, for sure, he is pretty awesome right now.

Thanks, kind of you.
The joy on Boeta’s face is exhilarating! Such fun and I see you ended the day my way… with a glass of vino! Much happiness to you all. ❤
Yeah, good to do the vino thing every so often.
Family time is so awesome! I love the expressions on Boeta’s face! So adorable! I love your house! Hugz Lisa and Bear

Echt hele leuke en mooie foto’s hoor, Boeta wordt vast een beroemde voetballer.
