Picture post!

According to my aunt it's a cotton tree! I'm not sure cotton actually grows on trees, but hey the fluffs look cool, for sure.


Ariella went on an outing with her school, and because we ... lost the car keys (we found them again, don't worry) we had to walk to school (we usually walk Ariella to school – but not with this much stuff.). It looks like we're all going on a trip!




Waiting for the bus to depart, being very typical Jewish mums (and cousins) – We didn't want to leave our kids! (Me, Jean and Sandra).

Ariella took my camera with her, and they went to this park where you could hold a baby lion – cute!


And... well, my aunt has lots of bunnies, she got them spayed and... they still had babies! So we had to sell them to pet stores – it took ages to catch them...

Don't have to tell you who this crazy girl with a Hello Kitty shirt is.

'Old' people don't want you to know their age! (Sandra)


Tali (good friend of Ariella) had her Bati (Bat Mitzvah) party on Saturday night. She looked gorgeous! We had mini springrolls, Chillers (a milkshake, basically) and pizza and hot chips and ice cream and... lots of good food :)


Hiking in Magaliesberg (near Mountain Sanctuary) – it was a 2 hour-ish drive to get there, pff. We had to get up at 6 – after a late night (only got to bed around 12.30). EARLY. Josh is charming as ever. (Johannesburg Hiking Club)


First things first


























The hike was gorgeous (lamest joke I've ever made: Gorge-ous). I still have a slight muscle ache left over to remind me.

Rosh hashanah is coming up this Thursday and Friday. It's the Jewish new year. I won't be online until next week, because this means we're not allowed to drive etc. etc. (Just like on a Saturday because it's Shabbos). I'm sure it won't be boring though, more food, more visitors etc. etc.
Next entry might just be a 'review' of my experiences with Jewish holidays! Until then!
