playground

We took Tim to a playground inside the mall. He was delighted with the other children and all of the equipment, which is all made of some kind of rubber, hard enough to hold shape but soft enough to work as shock absorbers.







Before this boy came along, Timothy had been playing with this alone. When he couldn't get to the slats, he figured out on his own to go to the back.

staying warm

The cabin was cold soaked when we arrived, and we all stayed bundled up for several hours until the fireplaces started to take the edge off of things.



you say braai, i say barbeque

While the men drank beer and cooked meat, Tim studied the grass and leaves in the yard. Jenny and Neville's friends in Colorado Springs took the recipe for Boerwors (sausage) to a local butcher years ago. They sent some to Fort Collins for us to enjoy.



kicking with grand-da

Typical of Colorado, the weather changed and we enjoyed a day warm enough to cook outside and play in the yard. Tim's kicking skills improved greatly under Neville's tutelage.



containers


Tim had to be coaxed into this container on the first day that we had it out. Now we can't keep him out of it.
