Little children cannot stay indoors all day, so in between showers Martelize and Franco went out to play. And outside there was a big heap of gravel, left over from our stoep expansion project.
For a long time two little mountaineers climbed up the mountain and rolled down, climbed up, rolled down, climbed up, rolled down…
A man’s nose must be clean before he starts mountaineering.
The expedition begins.
Nearly there!
“Kom neef!”
High five from the summit!
Look at the view!
Franco rolling down - too fast for the camera!
“…. and Jill came tumbling after!”
Uphill again!
This time Franco reaches the summit first!
A very grubby little boy, getting grubbier by the minute! (The gravel was pretty wet from all the rain!)
Then it was bath-time for the grubby cousins, but at first Martelize did not want to get into the bath at all. “Wil nie bad nie!” I wondered how Thelwyn was going to dryclean such a dirty little girl! In the meantime the two L’s were having a whale of a time.
However, it was not long before Martelize also wanted to join in the fun and quite willingly started to undress.
My three darling grandchildren watching Tannie Dorette singing “Rol op die tolletjie…!”
Bath time is play-time! Very few squabbles about toys.
“Sit down Janita! A foam bath is a slippery bath!” Janita is at the crawling and standing and walking along furniture stage!
“Uitklim!” But Martelize is not ready to get out yet! Bath-time is such fun…!
Please God, let the children always be such good friends and let them have memories of the farm as a fun place to be at!

Lekker! Groot blessing om so saam met hulle te kuier "ouma" Miekie
Hi Sandra
Hulle is so 'n blessing vir hierdie ouma. Kan nooit genoeg van hulle kry nie.
I remember when such rock piles would provide hours of entertainment as a child.
What cuties!!
Toemaar Mieks -- hulle sal die plaas altyd in hul hartekies saamdra, en ALTYD maats bly.
What a prayer to pray! May that be so.
Oe ek is seker hulle gaan eendag baie te vertel hê oor hulle grootword dae en die kuiers by Ouma en Oupa op die plaas! Sand en klippe (en water natuurlik) is mos nou hoeka die lekkerste speelplek vir 'n kind! :-)
Hi Arnold Mommy
If only the gravel and sand could remain there - but those heaps are really eyesores in my garden - not to mention all the leftover bricks!
Hi Mariki
Ag ek hoop so - glo so. Familiebande is sooo spesiaal. Ons het die naweek familie-reunie, en my kinders sien uit na die jaarlikse weersien van al die neefs en niggies.
NS. Baie bly om weer van jou te hoor! (Kon jou vorige pos nie oopmaak nie??)
Hi Retha
Isn't it comforting that we may pray and that there's a Father who listens?
Hi Thea
Ekself het wonderlike herhinneringe van MY oupa en ouma se plaas en hoe lekker ons in die spruit gespeel het. (Ons het ook 'n spruit en toe ons kinders klein was het hulle heerlik daar gespeel en gefoefieslaaid.... maar nou is alles toegegroei deur riete en is dit 'n vreeslike modderspul.)
Dit lyk na lekker speeltyd! Wys jou net, 'n kind het nie duur speelgoed nodig om te geniet nie :)
