The children really loved all the extra attention; putting things together with their aunt and uncle, playing on the swing with grandma and talking to grandpa.
Especially little Felix was a big fan of his "opa" (the Dutch word for grandpa). All day he would call "opa, opa, come..."
I guess I don't have to say that he grandparents loved spending time with their grandchildren.
During the week when the kids had to go to school I went shopping with my mother and sister. Off course my family wanted to see the children's school so they all took turns picking them up with me. On Friday my father joined us for a special fathers day assembly at school and we had a braai and campfire that evening. When it got too cold we went inside to watch the World cup football match of the Netherlands against Spain which the Dutch won!
On Saturday we went to the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Center (HESC) and went for lunch.
Unfortunately that was the end of the week already and they had to go back home, but we had a great time together and made lots of memories. It was fantastic to have them here for a while.

We had a great time and loved being with you and the kids. Wish we could do it more often :-]
