When in Rome... / May 10, 11, 12

Not too far from Dawn's house they have a big farmer's market on Saturday mornings.  Dawn & Paul usually go for fresh vegis & breakfast.  Like they say... "When in Rome" or in our case "When in Pretoria", so we headed on over.  This is where all the people in this area go to visit, shop & eat.
Dawn & Paul saw some of his colleagues from work. 
Well after looking at our choices of the menus on the different signs on the booths, most of which I had no idea what they said.
Not sure if this one explodes in your stomach?

 There was lots & lot of meats.
OK.. how does chicken wing in any language make the Mexican word of the day????
I also realized that those wild animals don't just roam around the nature reserves.  They also farm them for their meat.  Not sure I would want to eat any of them but then I am pretty picky.  
So we had a couple of crepes, one with cinnamon and one with cheese & bacon, (maybe I did eat some of that meat???) and some fresh squeezed  oj.  
 Then we walked around the craft booths & found the giraffe making guy & decided we liked one of these better.  He added some eyes for me & waaala... I have 2 giraffes!  
Dawn, Paul & Donald decided to go to the air show and since I had just been to one in Mesa (and enjoyed it soooo much) I stayed & played with my baby girl.  It worked out well for all of us.  
So this part pretty much looked the same.
And the crowd pretty much looked the same.
But not so much the aircraft.  There were lots of old planes & helicopters. 


A few food & craft booths. 
And who doesn't want to see an old bug with a Nazi flag on the hood?  These guys sure look like they did.
And we don't usually have a Nazi flag flying next to ours.  Not too sure what that was for???
And I don't think we had a plane coming out of a building.   Maybe you had to be there to appreciate it.  
Anyway, there were no Thunderbirds or Angels for the finale!  I guess Piper & I made the right choice.  :)
Sunday was Mom's Day.  Happy Mother's Day to all of you Moms!  We went to a nice lunch at a new Casino attached to a bird estuary & show. (The waiter didn't take a very good picture.)
So, they went to see the pretty birds.... 




 And the rats eating the bird food.....YUK!
 And... you guessed it.... I went & played a little blackjack.  Didn't win!
 But I had to take a picture in the baby changing restroom.  They also had a little tiny toilet for toddlers who don't need the diaper changing table but a real potty!  Nope, Piper's not quite ready for this one.  It's hard to tell the scale of this but it was so little!  I've never seen anything like it.
Sorry to end Mother's Day in the toilet... but couldn't resist.  ;))
