Magaliespark holiday

If a picture tells a thousand words, then I've pretty much given you a whole book. This sums up our week at Magaliespark, a beautiful holiday resort in the Magaliesburg mountain range alongside the Hartbeespoort Dam. My parents made the booking for us to go last year already, knowing that our time in SA would be largely swallowed up by going out hither and yon to catch up with people. I suspect they thought the only way they would see us for any chunk of time would be to take us away! Good guess. We had a relaxed week, and on Tuesday surprised my mom for her birthday with some extra family members. The Thompsons happened to also be at the resort during the same week (I don't believe in coincidence - divine providence!) so Nick and Glen had some more late night grappling and the kids could play together a bit. On our last day we did some group photos (Antje didn't want to be caught out doing the only funny face, so we have the inverse now) and then stopped in at a few places on the way home, ending off with good ol' Macdonalds for lunch. Thanks again, Dad and Mom!!
