Lily's big Cape Town adventure

Hello all

Finally I get to sit down to tell you all about lilys lovely holiday to Cape Town. We arrived to beautiful weather and a very excited nana , grandpa , uncle Andrew, aunty ronnie and uncle steven. Lily took about a day to settle and then she was away making everyone laugh and love her. it seemed asthough she was having such a nice holiday as we had so much smiling and laughing. Everywhere we went everyone spent most of their time finding different ways to make her laugh. It was like a looney bin at times.

She loved her cot at her grandpa and nanas house and she got a lovely paddling pool as well so she had some relaxing times in the pool. nana had lots of different songs that she sang to her which she loved and every morning she played with her grandpa before he went off to work.

Aunty Ronnie was also a bit of a loon and had all sorts of nicknames and funny noises for her. She spent some time there and one day we went to a baby braai there ( that is all the babies came and we braaied not that we braaied the babies) Lily loved meeting Adam and danielle and an older friend, Jake. Lily had great fun hitting adam on the head whilst he just sat there.

we had a lovely day out in Langebaan where we visited Caroline and Craig. Lily got all kitted out in her cozzie and hat and headed onto the sand where she buried her little toes in the sand and even had a paddle. Craig then carried her down the beach which she found very tiring and was nodding off. I had a lovely swim with Caroline in the beautiful langebaan sea. it was like we were children again. It must have been way over an hour and you just feel so amazing afterwards.

we had a lovely picnic at Boschendal with the grandparents, uncle andrew , Aunty Carol and aunty Ronnie and Steven. It was an amazing day for us as well as lily. in fact she was having so much fun she did not want to sleep the whole day.

we just did so much and lily met so many special people in my life. she was spoilt rotten by everyone and saw so many different things. she started sitting whilst in Cape town and now since arriving home has started saying mama, indiscriminately of course , but she is putting her words together now. I know she loved you all as since we have arrived back in england she has been a bit subdued. Too quiet with just daddy and mummy. she is back in the swing now and loving us both again.

I will leave you with some photos of our lovely holiday and the biggest thank you to everybody in the beautiful city for making this the best holiday ever
