Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

Charlie is struggling to adjust himself to all the newness here. This little boy loves his routine and familiarity and a 6 hour time difference and switching hemispheres is not easy to handle. After we dragged him out of bed for the second day we decided to take it easy and head back to the beach. It gets him outside and burns some energy so he can start to get over his jet lag, the beach is something he is very familiar with and well I love going to the beach; a win win situation.

We set up camp at Bloubergstrand again. The kids had fun with their squirt guns, avoiding the scary water, eating sand and seashell hunting. I had fun sitting in the sun looking at table mountain. Jacob probably enjoyed himself too.

After nap time we had some time to kill before we met up with Wendy, Christo, Janelie and Nollie for dinner so naturally we headed to the grocery store. Since very nearly everything in SA is designed for families the grocery store complex has a whole play structure right outside the entrance. Madeline, as per usual, had two older kids competing for her attention at the playground and she was led around like the little doll she is.

We had dinner at Ons Huisie which overlooks the ocean with views of Robben Island in the distance. We had a great evening seeing everyone again.
