The Simple Things in Life

Today we went to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2010 at Cape Town's Museum. This is 3rd year that we have gone and the photographs are always stunning. This year viewing the photos proved VERY challenging, since Grace thought the museum with all the animals was way more exciting than looking at photos, that together with climbing up and down the stairs, spinning around a metal stand and lying on the floor. She showed no interest in the photos (which surprised us since she usually loves looking at photos), which meant that Duncan and I had to view them in shifts.
I must admit that I was disappointed that I couldn't walk around looking at and discussing the photos with Duncan (which we had done the previous two years). Having said that, I got to experience the museum through the eyes of a child again and watch her pure joy and excitement for the simple things in life – it truly is a blessing to be able to share those moments as a family.
After we had finished with the museum we walked through the Company Gardens so that Grace could see the squirrels, again pure delight. It was interesting for me to watch that she had no fear of them and they no fear of her.
The other highlight of my day was this morning, Grace and I snuggling under a duvet together. She was reading books and I was watching cricket. I look forward to winter when we can cuddle under a blanket and read books together.
