Movie time!

Last Tuesday we took the kids from Muizenberg Beach Club to watch a movie at the cinema in Claremont!

In the afternoon we picked the kids up as usual, but due to the bad waves we went to the St James tidal pool and had a swim instead of surfing as we normally do on Tuesdays. After having fun in the water for a couple of hours, it was time to head back with the kids. We picked them up again later on in the afternoon and drove to the mall in Claremont. The drive there was everything but calm and quiet…  The guys were, as expected, very enthusiastic for our little trip and could not sit still for one second! They were practically jumping up and down in the back seats, filled with excitement for what was yet to come.

Once we arrived, we bought the kids some much appreciated popcorn and drinks, and sat down to watch the movie. The film chosen was RoboCop, about a cop who’s in a terrible accident and ends up wearing a robot suit instead of arms and legs. The half human / half robot continues working as a cop, fighting bad guys and trying to keep the town safe whilst driving around on his motorcycle. It did not come as a surprise that the guys really enjoyed the movie, especially the action bits. Although it might have been a little bit late for some of them (Yamkela fell asleep halfway into the film), the evening was overall a big success. The guys were buzzing on the way home, talking about their favourite parts of the film.

It was so much fun to do something different with the kids – hopefully we get to do something like this again soon!
