Spinning round

Towards the end of the recent school holidays I took the Kidz and their friends for an outing around Port Elizabeth. Being a warm winters day I decided to end off the trip at St Georges Park and let the kids play in the park for a while. While watching them go round and round and … Continue reading Spinning round →

River pool foofy slide

After spending two days going down the slippery slide with the kids at Sleepy Hollow my Boet and I decided to go and try out the foofy slide (zipline) at the main swimming hole. Now I'm not one who is very comfortable with heights and I get nervous if I have to lift my feet anywhere higher … Continue reading River pool foofy slide →

Sleepy Hollow slippery slide

I may be in my mid thirties, but I am very much in touch with my inner child who, every now and then, forces himself to the surface and refuses to crawl back in. So it happened at Sleepy Hollow where I went down the slippery slide before the kids even got their costumes on. … Continue reading Sleepy Hollow slippery slide →

A throne with a view

Today may well be April Fool's day, but this is no joke. Visitors to Amakhala Game Reserve situated about 75km outside Port Elizabeth have the option of booking a boat trip on the Bushmans River which, depending on the time of the cruise, can coincide with high tea. This toilet with a view is the pit … Continue reading A throne with a view →

You spin me right round…

We spent the evening at the Boardwalk the other day and I was busy taking a photo of the Merry Go Round when it started moving.I've never tried to take one of these "movement" pictures at night so I decided to put the setting on night shot and try it. It would have been slightly … Continue reading You spin me right round… →

Newton Park fun run

This past weekend we took part in Newton Park Primary School's annual fun run. A day or so before the event I was asked by one of the organisers if I wouldn't mind taking pictures as their regular photographer wasn't available. As a parent who doesn't always have the opportunity to be too involved in the … Continue reading Newton Park fun run →

Wagon Jungle Gym

*mumble mumble* years ago when I was still in primary school, my mom used to have a stall at Art in the Park at St Georges Park every first Sunday of the month. I remember us playing all over the park, exploring the gardens, running down the paths and climbing on the jungle gyms. The … Continue reading Wagon Jungle Gym →

Leap

A little while ago we went to the giant sand dune at the Maitland River Mouth. I climbed to the top with Chaos Boy and on the way down I experimented a little bit with him leaping into the air. If you enjoy looking skywards, visit Skywatch Friday for more sky pics.

Bumper boats

One of the activities at the Boardwalk for kids (and sometimes big kids as well) is bumper boats on a separate section of the Boardwalk lake. The Rugrats went to a birthday party at the Boardwalk the other day and one of the things they did was the bumper boats. Chaos Boy is a bit … Continue reading Bumper boats →

Floating balls

One of the new features at the Boardwalk complex this summer are the floating balls. You get into the deflated ball which gets inflated and velcro'd closed before being pushed onto the lake. It doesn't look like the easiest thing judging on the fact that the kids doing it were more flat on their backs … Continue reading Floating balls →
