Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

We’ve just been laying low in Franskraal since my last post. We’ve had some more family beach days (hoorah!). C has been joining me for my morning trips to the beach and doing some exploring. We do exciting things like build sand castles, chase his new ball and look at the sea creatures in the tide pools (Dr. Scott would be pleased). Jacob and M typically join in the evening. M also loves the little tide pools, although she seems to think it’s snack time and attempts to eat every snail she can find.

Jacob cashed in his Christmas gift today and went to play with some sharks. As much as I would love to have the experience, hell no, that is terrifying. Jacob was pretty excited (well as excited as Jacob gets) about the whole affair. He saw three sharks half an arms length away. Ha! The shark are just hanging out waiting for the boat to come back from their morning trip. They put on quite a show jumping at the bait and swimming right next to the cage. The pictures certainly looked pretty impressive.

Again, in boring family news, our house sold; while we are in SA. AND as luck would have it we are staying with a real estate agent. So now the million dollar question is, can we get a refund on our  plane ticket? Or do we care? That’s a long old flight back to winter, perhaps we’ll just skip it.
