Don’t stop moving II
Remember the fights our little Lilly had with good old sleep?

It’s getting better now, but the other day I found her again like this:
Happy Birthday, Mimi!
Today is Miriam’s birthday!! We’ve just returned from a beautiful morning at Blauberg Strand and are now getting ready to start braai-ing (barbecueing).
The last couple of days have been great and busy and once again I have to present the highlights to you in a boring slideshow 
Here we are – at Blauberg Strand, Tygerberg Nature Reserve, Two Oceans Aquarium, Camps Bay and an ostrich ranch.
Tomorrow we will take the cable car up Table Mountain!

Sea, Monkeys and Botany
I’m super tired today, so please excuse this incredibly uncreative summary of our visit to the SA Museum, Mouille Point playground and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

Round and Round
My sister and niece – Miriam and Anna – are visiting us at the moment! After more than two weeks of beautiful spring weather Cape Town seems to have decided that it cannot expose German visitors to such unusual Winter temperatures and adjusted them WAY down!
Our plans to go for a nice walk on the Mouille Point promenade had to be turned into a scenic DRIVE after a howling and freezing South Easter (or SUMMER wind) chased us straight back into our cars.
For Anja’s sake we at least stopped at De Waal Park (the doggie park) for a little stroll which also did us humans good.
Blowing Dandelions is Hard Work!
Today I found a corner full of (at least in local terms – we don’t get so many here) dandelions on my walk with Anja. I tried to take a few home with me for Erik, but they didn’t make it further than a few meters. So after his nap I took him and Lilly for a little stroll to the spot.
At first it was really hard work for the little dude (note those fists!), …
… but he loved it. Especially blowing the seeds into Lilly’s face!
Don’t Stop Moving
Since Lilly has learned to stand and cruise it seems that she considers any sort of rest a waste of time. When we put er into her crib during the day she often bounces right back up again to hang on to the bars and do anything but sleep.
Often her little body can’t keep up with her determination to stay awake and then we find her like this:
Or even like this:
