The boys ended the first term of school on the 26th. So the week was busy with end of term stuff.. a school raffle(I am fundraising chair),throw in a birthday party and I was interviewing at a primary school for Aiden for next year. Here you have to apply to schools by the end of the first term for the next year. Oh and.. I had a birthday. :)
Scott and I, with lots of friends went to see Elton John here in PE on the 26th. We had a great time.. at the before party and at the concert but the concert itself was not as good as expected. He played alot of really old stuff and some new songs from a new album coming out, I think there were only 2 songs that we knew and were songs we could dance and sing along to. It was an outdoor, picnic style concert and of course it rained! We are in a very bad drought right now, so it was a welcomed rain but we were soaked.
This past week we have been having fun.. meeting friends for lunch, Aiden had an all day golf clinic, Evan had swimming lessons and we were planning and packing for a quick getaway with 2 other families for the weekend.
On Thursday, the girls and kids all headed down the road to Storms River. It is near the Tsitsikamma National Park. We stayed in two cottages and planned to have a very fun relaxing couple of days. The guys came after work on Thursday. Between all three families we had 11 kids... ranging in age from 4-16. The kids had a blast, playing soccer, cricket, swimming and playing other games. Special thanks to the older kids who kept the little ones busy and happy. On Friday we went into the park and some went on a 3 hour hike, while Megan & I took the little ones to the beach and on a boat ride around Storms River Mouth. We really did have a great weekend with our friends, who have become family since we have been here! The crazy part of the weekend... On Saturday we checked out and then headed to Bloukrans Bridge which has the worlds highest bungy jump! Two of the teens.. Emily and Jono were the victims. You could watch from many lookout points but the best was in the restaurant where they had a live feed on a big screen tv of the jumpers. So we ate lunch and watched. Wow! I was almost talked into doing it...
We have had a great two weeks!!

While we were at the beach there was a baboon that came out of the woods and took over a trash can not far from the restaurant.
