I don't know what it is about that place! It's dusty, very rustic, there is not enough hot water or space, but we love it.
We headed out again on Thursday 9 April and by the time the sun went down 17 adults were seated around a roaring fire, surveying the most beautiful sunset and listening to twenty odd kids run riot around Tony and Sula's farm.
Drommie outdid himself this time with his ghost stories about Patricia from Piketberg, with Darren and Gavin scaring the living daylights out of the kids by appearing as Darth Vader at various stages over a couple of nights. Even Darren was scared hiding out in the bushes in the pitch dark waiting to scare the kids, all the time hoping that Patricia was indeed just a story, and not about to tap him on his shoulder.
Thomas and Jason prepared wonderful pooitjies again, food that was woolfed down by the hungry packs.
The girls spent lazy afternoons at the pool drinking Vodka and Cranberry Juice, eating mussels and crackers, we read our books and magazines and laughed like mad.
The little girls got to bake bread, the young boys fished and rode their bikes and the big boys made fire.
Suikerkaskenades had us all in stitches. We had sack races, egg and spoon races and egg throwing competitions.
The Easter egg hunt became a bit stressful at one stage, but things were sorted out and of course the kids were on a sugar high for most of Easter Sunday.
It was a very special, fun and relaxing weekend, and I can't wait to do it again.
