Creative Friday

Cederberg 2014

There was great excitement yesterday when we said goodbye to all the Scouts leaving for the Cederberg Adventure. Our two girls are there and will be gone for 12 days. There is no signal so we won’t have any contact with them, they are going to hike for 10 days with their group, up and down various mountains and work on bases, they will have to navigate with a GPS and carry their own food. It’s such an amazing experience and they’re going to LOVE it!! Many in the group are going back for their third time.

I miss them SO much already and can’t wait for them to come home but this wonderful journey is something they will carry in their hearts for the rest of their lives.

In the Garden and Other News

Cucumbers and Squash

The wonderful ‘almost’ Summer weather has arrived at last, I think the frost is gone for now until next year and Kye and I have begun planting our Heirloom veggie seeds! It’s so exciting to see them grow. Above we have planted cucumbers and squash. They are almost ready to transplant into the veggie garden, I just need to order a truckload of compost first to dig into the beds.

Seedlings

I’ve also planted different varieties of peppers and pumpkins, can’t wait to see what they are like.

Jenna PL Award Scouts

Not the greatest photo quality, I know, but I only had my phone with me and we were sitting right at the back of the hall. Anyway, this is our Jenna receiving her PL (patrol leader) of the year award at the Sea Scouts AGM two weeks ago. We are SO proud of her!!!

Jen sailing

Here she is doing what she LOVES, sailing. She will soon be getting her own Miracle dinghy that she’ll refurbish herself for advancement at Scouts. So exciting!!

Hope you are having a lovely week.

Jenna and Erin have just returned home from their Scout Gig Adventure weekend. They rowed down the Vaal River for 90km, it took them 20 hours. They started just before midnight on Friday and finished last night.

They had an amazing time, we are so proud of our girls! Well done!

Family Open Water Swim

Dawkins Family

This morning after hockey practice, we drove to the dam to support everyone taking part in an open water swim. The purpose of the swim was to raise money for the Rovers to travel overseas and take part in the Canoe Polo world championships. Richard swam with our older children, Kye and I waited for them on the side of the dam. I think I’ll give it a try next year, it looked like such fun! It’s still raining here after about 2 weeks, which means, I’ll be knitting more I guess…. That’s just fine with me!

Happy day to you!
