Visiting my dad - What an awesome weekend so far - part 2

in #life7 years ago (edited)

With Bianca in Brasil I'm visiting my dad up north. I have been here only 2,5 days and we have done a lot. Visiting family, Grilling and Chilling, Played epic battles of Chess and went for a boat ride.

All accompanied by amazing weather.

Spending some good old time together is a true blessing. And the blockchain is a great way to store these memories.

Family asked us to come round and check out their new baby horse. 1 week old.

Using the BBQ as a fire pit to keep the mosquitoes away. Works great.

Had Ice-cream half way. Exploring made us hungry.

Not one to wear a hat in general but between that and burning, I choose the hat.

The name of the boat Trevor is looking at is called 'Enjoy life'. Couldn't really find a more perfect name for this weekend.

Cherish this moments and treasure them. You reminded me of my visit to my parents when they were alive. It's a blessing.

You are not the first that told me this on Steemit. It really makes me realise even more that I should cherish these moments as much as I can. With I'm going to do today again!

@exyle I am glad you are spending more time with your Dad. It is the best thing you can do for the old man, God bless you more bro!

Thank you, man! I'm having a blast!

Am really happy for you man.

I have one word that comes to mind. Stunning! Really glad you are having a blast of a time together with your dad. So precious!

I know you know this more than most.

Family time is always the best time. What do you call that food with whip and ice cream?

It's called boerenjongens in Dutch. It's basically ice-cream with alcohol and raisins with whip cream!

@exyle Are you from the Netherlands? My mother was born there but now we stay in South Africa! Love the picture of the steak. It looks very tasty. Here in Sourh Africa we call a BBQ "braaivleis" which means directly translated fried meat! Enjoy your visit and the company of your dad! It is priceless!

Hi Marcel, yes I am. I have visited South Africa and am familiar with the Braai! Love it, as you can imagine. It's a stunning country SA. Thanks for you nice words!

Great yes SA is a great country full of diversity! I am also proud to have Dutch heritage!

Interesting. The alcohol is poured on the ice cream? Any alcohol drinks would do?

very nice photography i like it you post is very good

Hey my bro!

Man, you guys live in a seriously beautiful place! The peaceful water, luscious greenery, tall trees, good food... and chess! :)

Would love to meet your dad and cute dog one day. The photos seem to capture a place of pure tranquillity and reflective grace. Create some great memories to look back on and make the most out of it until Bianca returns. Loving it!

Thank for sharing, my bro! :)

It's really lovely here. It would be awesome if one day you would come to visit and we go up North together for a road trip!

Haha horse meat! Can't beat a rare fillet stake for sure. Re: feet, don't forget, women know best! Enjoy!

I love a good steak! and yes women know best when it comes to dumb things I do :)

It looks awesome. You have grear photography skills.

I wana see ur more update I follow u i hope follow me back

It looks classic. Great photographs and full of fun :)

Thank you! It's great here!

That looks so fun! In my opinion, there is nowhere more enjoyable in summer than a lake home with a boat. I am taking a lake vacation in August and will be sure to bring Steemit along. Great post!

It's a lot of fun here! Being on the water this hot water is really nice!
