Guess who’s back… Chariot’s back

We picked up the chariot pieces again and the new welds look very good. There is a fairly strong pull to the right still, but it is quite manageable as is. I might bring it back for him to bend it at some point. So today was the day Harrison and I tested it out taking the kids to school. It does take somewhat longer with the chariot than without but this gives Carla an earlier start to her work. We are out of the house by 7:20, back by about 8:30 or so.

Another set of neighbours are leaving today, back to Liverpool. They left us a little care package of matches, candles, power adapters and such. I’m sure we will do the same when we leave, somebody will need these things.

Harrison is enjoying a morning swim at about 9:30. For me it is refreshing after a long walk. He likes to sit in the live preserver and I tie it around my waist. Then we go back and forth across the pool. Harry’s friend likes to run around the pool without going in. Kellen is not as comfortable in the water and his mom Kelowna is amazed at how our kids swim.

Henry is enjoying his school. It doesn’t seem as challenging as what he is used to; so far he is colouring and cutting similar to what he did in kindergarten, but we hope that will change. In the meantime he has been enjoying reading Richard Scarry books that we’ve taken out of the library. In the morning yesterday he told me he couldn’t read, in the afternoon, he read most of the book on his own.

Katy is also colouring in her class, but they are starting to do other things as well. She has a part in the class play, The Jungle Book which she is already looking forward to in her debut as an Elephant. Her swim tryouts are tomorrow and she is hoping to make the team, since her teacher is the coach.

Well off the pool. Let me know if you have any questions about Cape Town and I’ll try to answer them in the comments section. I will take pictures on request. Also when you see a picture, click on it and you’ll be taken to a larger photo album.

Also for those that use RSS, there is a feed available, ask me and I'll get you a link.
