On Friday we went to movies and we saw Ice age 3-d.
On Saturday we went to Imax, where we saw Transforce. The movie is about robots fighting one another.

Weekend at Dullstroom

On Saturday we went to Dullstroom in Mpumalanga. There I saw birds called cranes. Cranes are threatened with extinction. We stayed in cottage nr eighteen A and B. My parents slept upstairs. Ouma Vossie, Shaen and I slept downstairs. The cottage overlooked the river and jetty. It was cold and windy so we stayed indoors most of the time. We played games. On Sunday we went to the shop together. We came back home at 17:00. We ate cheese and tomatoes. I played computer games. My family listened to the music of High School Musical. I put on my pyjamas. My family talked with Ouma Vossie.

Here I am playing games.

The high light of the eveing: after the show the cast came down the stage. I got a signed poster because it was my birthday. I was very happy when Troy stood next to me.

It was a terrific outing! Thank you very, very, very much. I will think about it for a very long time. I love you Mommy and Daddy!

Valentine's Day

When my daddy came back from Angola, I was so happy to see him and he was happy too.
On Saturday morning I gave my family Valentine cards, that I had made. (Click here to see how I made them) We all got presents. I got a Bratz magazine and kinder toy and two P.S. chocolate bars. We stayed at home. Ouma and Oupa came. We ate rice and chicken. We watched Super 14 rugby.
On Sunday my brother and I went to the church. We went to Ocean Basket and ate prawns special with rice. We also stayed at home and ate rice, beans, buns and meat and we drank tea and ate cupcakes .

Eclipse

On Friday I ate cheese and tomato bread and Kaolin ate noodles and we played and swam in the swimming pool. We put on make up and painted our nails.On Saturday we went to the Gym.

On Sunday we went to the Sunday School and we went to Ouma Louise’s house and we ate food.

On Monday we saw the eclipse; the moon was between the earth and the sun. We saw half moons of sunlight shining through the round holes we had made in a piece of paper. After the eclipse we saw full circles shining through the holes.

Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the eclipse. I took this photo afterwards when the sun, shining through the holes in the paper, no longer made halfmoons, but full circles again. The moon was no longer between the earth and the sun.

On Sunday we had a braai with my parents on our own.
