Lamb and tumbleweed

A weekend of memories joyfully created on a farm in the Karoo.

Four families and a long weekend. Five hours fighting torrential rain storms to get there. A braai filled with meat and large appetites satiated.

Fathers and sons on a quad bike adventure. Fathers blindfolded and sons with directions. Survivor camp fire type competition, bread over the coals, and a corned beef hash for breakfast. Satisfied little tykes.

Time filled with idleness, children, and food. Matthew horse riding. A family hike to a Karoo waterfall. Kids on the shooting range with a .22 rifle. Shots even grouped.  The brutal power of a real hunting rifle and their danger displayed. Family game drives on quads. Another hike, Another family quad ride. Board games played and a roaring log fire. Bush TV in the boma. A lunar eclipse obscured by clouds. Long runs in the wild. Good time spent in laughter and fun. Unhurried. Bliss!

Family time to be remembered forever.
