Today is Oma and Opa’s anniversary!
For lunch we went to Sambane Coffee shop. It is next to the Baobab Botick and a few other stores that we looked at after we ate.
When we were done we drove places Oma and Opa used to go and got home just before it got really dark.
We went to the store today. Afterwards we picked up some grilled corn. It was good, not sweet but I like it more then sweet corn.
I also took some pictures of the plants around where we are living.
And bananas!
We are here! We stayed in South Africa the first night then we drove to Swaziland. We stopped at a gas station that had some animals behind it.
When we got to Swaziland we went to a glass factory. They had peacocks and weaver birds that I took some pictures of.
On the 17th Opa and I went to the transmitter site. I will probably write longer blogs later when I am more on the right schedule.
I am going to Swaziland with Opa and Oma on Monday!! I will be gone for a month.
I am not sure what I will be helping with yet. I hope to help Opa at the transmitter site learning how everything works and see interesting things like this.
I hope not to see a snake unless it is dead or it is outside and I am not. I want to see warthogs (Momma said they were my favorite when I was little), Nyala, (and other big deer? antelope?) and a cheetah for Daddy. Megan wants me to see giraffe. Seeing this sign would be fun too, especially with something big behind it!
Unfortunately, Auntie Lorraine and Uncle Steve will not be there while I am 🙁 . Momma said that I will meet a lot of nice people though.
Please pray that we have a safe trip and that I learn a lot.
I will post blogs when I can!
Guess where I am going next week with Oma and Opa!
Here is a hint:
We went to the Bonneville Mill Heritage day. There were a lot of old tractors and crafts. I took a lot of pictures of the tractors.
I found a filter in GIMP that I like how it works with mechanical details. If you click on the picture, you can see better detail. Which do you like best?
How to Relax on a hot summer day.
We went on the colour run. It is a 5K run where there are places that people spray coloured powder at you. We started near the back, and ended near the front. It was not a timed race, but we ran a comfortable speed.
I ran with Audrey because Momma wanted us to run together. She knew Daddy would probably run slower with the stroller. When Audrey ran past some older teens one of them said “oh no! We better speed up, the little kids are passing us!”
Megan “ran”with Daddy. We had fun. This is what Megan thinks.
I ran with Daddy. I went in my stroller. I talked to Daddy. I told him “I love you”. They threw colour at me. I covered my face with glasses and a pink thing. I won because I was ahead of Daddy. I want to do it again another day.”
Before we went home we went to another spring called Greer Spring.
It was a different type of spring, this one instead of coming out of the ground, came out of a cliff. We had to climb down a bunch of stairs to get to it.
That was a nice walk too but getting back to the car was a lot more difficult.
Use bug spray here too because the mosquitoes were terrible.
We went to some other springs and passed more but Boze Mill Spring and Greer Spring were my favorite.
