Well, the day finally arrived and off we went to the beach. Two of us were up for swimming, two had colds and were not in the running, and Boy and Small were banned from the water (frozen small children are not very fun).

It was rather a cold day, actually!

With a whoop and a cry we set loose (can you spot us?).

Aaaargh, get me out of here!

My wild child, this is her thing.

Time to defrost island-style.

Very, very, very awake. (And happy!)
You crazy nutter!!!
Thank you!!!
Sending love and prayers!
oh what awesome fun…would def have joined you
You would?! Oh, that would have been double the fun!! Mind you, Kommetjie waters on your side are no warmer than over here, right!
Wow what fun. We do that kind of thing but never in that kind of cold but think I would try!!!
Look forward to seeing you all! Did you sort accom??
Hello Beth, so fun! I confess to trying myself too – on the sleds with the kids. Not quite as brave as them anymore though!
Accommodation all sorted, thank you. We will be in Kalk Bay first week in January, and then Kommetjie for a week – woohoo!
See you soon!
