WEEKEND AT THE VAAL DAM

Shaun, (My daughter, Melanie's boyfriend, for those that don't know them),

Shaun's Boss, has a Lovely big house at the Vaal Dam, and from Time to Time,

Shaun gets to spend the weekend there and have some friends and family over,

and last weekend Shaun and Melanie invited us to join them along with the rest of our

children and some friends.

What an Awsome place and What an Awsome weekend we had.

THANK YOU Shaun and Melanie, we really appreciate it.

It was Truly a wonderful weekend, we had a great time.

We arrived Friday night somewhere between 19h00 and 20h00.

Not sure.  We unpacked, then chilled in the Lapa with drinks, some played Pool.

We made a huge big Bon Fire.

We Braaied some Wors and Steak.

then sat around the Fire.

On Saturday we just sat around literally the whole day in the sun and

got toasted, Braaied again and made a Huge big Bon Fire again.

Gillian and Riaan and Kids joined us on Saturday, along with two of

Melanie's friends, Leeanne and Vaughn and Deeann.

BUT, on sunday, after making an Awsome Breakfast, off we all went,

Shaun got Percy's Kia, Hooked the Boat on it, piled all the Tubes on top

of the Boat, and off we went about 2km down the road and launched the boat

in the Dam.

WELL, I must just tell you, for those of us that are somewhat, Just a

Tad bit Matured [Like good wine LOL], hahehehee...I must tell

you, one tends to forget that you are not 16 anymore and the

body is not what it used to be, OH BUT the Spirit Definately is, let me tell you.

Gillian and I got right in there with the less matured and had ourselfs an Absolute Blast.

Well....did you expect anything different? LOL

I paid for it, for three days after that, I was so stiff and sore I could hardly

move.... And.....you might ask.....will you do it again......???

Why, HELL YES.......

well take a look for yourself.....
