Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

Seriously, this weekend, swoon.

We kicked the weekend off Friday night at Nollie’s for an awesome braai. Nora fell asleep, the kids watched a ton of tv and Jacob and I got to kuier with our friends. We sat outside, enjoyed the heat, made a nice big fire had some drinks and finally ate.

Saturday we met up at Spier which was on just about every “best wine farms for families” list I came across They were all right. They have these gorgeous grounds littered with huge willow trees that surround a dam. They had a great play area tucked away at the back so we really just felt like we were in our own backyard. We collected our picnic basket, blanket and several bottles of wine and set up camp for the day.

Sunday we headed back to Melkbosstrand for an all day beach and braai at Janelie’s amazing house. By some incredible stroke of luck Madeline fell asleep on the couch, Nora went to sleep easily and I got to actually finish conversations and glasses of wine uninterrupted.

This weekend was the most relaxed I’ve been all trip. I so so so love these people here and it’s always so hard to believe we will have to say goodbye to them. This weekend makes it that much harder to leave, but it has given me so many beautiful memories to hold on to until next time.
