A Not So Little Place Called Africa: July 2012

This past week we went on a holiday (vacation) to Hwange, Victoria Falls, and Antelope Park. In a nutshell, this week I jumped off a cliff, ate weird food, played with elephants, rode an elephant, and walked with lions! First we went to Hwange National Park, where we went on a game drive. Then we went to Victoria Falls. We viewed the falls, did adrenaline activities at the gorge, and went to The Boma. The Boma is a restaurant in Victoria Falls where they serve crocodile, warthog, eland, guinea fowl, and other interesting animals. On Friday we went to Antelope Park. Antelope Park is a safari lodge. This is where I played with elephants, rode an elephant, and walked with lions. This week was definitely an adventure of a lifetime!

I didn't have time to upload the lion pictures, so I will next week!

This weekend Mary and the eleven kids from Father's House came to our house for a weekend bash! We played outside, watched The Lion King, went mini golfing, had a braai, and went to church. It was a great weekend! The kids really opened up to us and shared their individual personalities.
