Our First Night: A Family Braai

We’re staying with Dave and Ali (my mom’s younger sister) for the first week of our stay in S.A. They have just built a new home in the hills of D’Urbanvale, surrounded by Vineyards, and it is just breathtaking.

Our first night (Monday), we had a family get-together. There was Ali & Dave, Jen & Merv, Rob & Willy, Rikki, Carla & Kelly, and baby Em!
It also happened to be Joe’s very first braai – he proudly posed for a braai photo, [true] beer in hand!

It was a wonderful night of reunion, introduction and celebration. While we were absolutely exhausted – the excitement was thrilling!
