Christine is gone! She is off to Amsterdam for a few days before heading to Winnipeg. We really enjoyed her stay with us. There was always something on the go. Yesterday we had planned to go to Robben Island on the ferry. The kids were excited about this venture. We had originally planned to go last Sunday, but due to weather, the trip was cancelled. We rescheduled but when we arrived, they had booked us in for the wrong time and it turned out we had missed our trip. This was hugely disappointing for everyone, but we managed to get Chris and Carla on a later trip. Unfortunately Katy had her CD release for her school choir that we had to attend (which was a great success) and I took the boys to watch, so we didn't get to Robben Island. It seems like there are only three weeks left for us here and we're getting antsy to be back home and see everyone. The kids have 12 days left of school and their concerts are finished, Henry received an excellence in reading award yesterday morning as well. All that is left for me is to sell the car, clean up and pack. The kids have a few parties to attend and we'll go to a concert at Kirstenbosch as well.
