Crazy rain in Helderberg

15.November, 2013 was a crazy Friday in our beloved Victoria Park. The area was flooded! Some of the neighbors properties suffered quite a damage. However I would like to thank our neighbors for great cooperation and for coming out in rain to help reduce the rain waters level on the streets.

Paddle ski was a better mode of transport

Halloween event, 1.November

Hei, hei, hei!!!

As we have a few families that have small children in the area, we decided to do something small for the kids on Halloween. It was not easy to get people involved, as some of us don't exactly support Halloween, so we came up with a following setting:

We walked around to all the houses in our area (Phase 3 in this case) and explained the ideas- to have some kids fun, not go crazy :P

The houses willing to participate, can put a candle in the window or some Halloween decoration on the door/ window, so that kids only knock on the doors of participating houses, without disturbing others.

The night was a great SUCCESS! Kids got to dress up and get their candy (note the Americanism:P) 

Note Hulk coming from behind!!! :D

We had over 10 kids participating and about 1/3 of the houses. We were pleasantly impressed that people who don't have children on their own and still participated in the event. Next time we should either have more kids trick or treating or ask participants to buy less sweets for the night :)

Thank You all for making our neighborhood great!!!
