The Peinke Family Reunion

The Peinke's had a family reunion on the 07th August and all the family were invited, from the Peinke side and the Bottcher side.  It was so good to see everyone again, for me it is special because I spent so much time with them on holiday.   
Finger eats were organised, and the venue was in a night club as a private function which was nice for the youngsters as they could just stay on and carry on partying when 'Jet' opened later. 
It was also great to see Michael and Rina again. 
I just need to add - GAUTENG IS FREEZING .........  Gosh I love Durban!
