Tyson's Lion Park Report

We drove to the lion park. Then we got out. Then we drove around we saw all different kinds of animals even one that we don't have sable antelopes. Then we drove to where we parked. Then we went in. Then we saw baby meerkats. 3 of them. They're so brave that the big ones can take down a snake. They saw a cat and then they turned from side to side. They followed a airplane sound.

We went into a baby lion cage. We got to pet them. One climbed on the roof of there sleeping thing. Then the same one that climbed on the roof climbed on the rocks. Then that one got a drink from their watering hole.

Then we drove through lions we saw yellowish orngeish ones. Then just white ones. Then one in the yellowish orngeish group tried to lay on a male but it bounced back up. One in the white group is a star in a movie called White Lion. We also saw cheetahs they ran because of a truck. We also saw Wild Dogs they just sleped.

Then we fed a giraffe. We fed him giraffe food. He ate off of Papas head. He had a tongue 10 inches! We felt his horns there hard I know cause I saw a giraffe skull. Finally we huged him. The giraffe was the best.

When we had made the decision to uproot our lives in the US and move to South Africa, I was so hungry for information about what living in South Africa would look like. We had been to South Africa several times as a couple, Darin had come on work trips, and we had spent 10 weeks here with our children. We knew some people, had been into various shops, and had a familiarity with the sounds of English being spoken with a variety of accents. However, there is a big difference between leaving home to visit a place for a few weeks or months and entirely uprooting your life in one place to start over in another. What were the schools like, would I have access to familiar ingredients to cook with, what about healthcare?  I scoured the internet to find stories about living in South Africa and found a few women who were more than happy to answer my questions, however random and weird they were. There was Annie, an American living in Pretoria, whose entire blog I read in one day and when Dar...

New friends

On Saturday, we finally met the DiCocco’s. I had first found out about Billy, Trace and their family through my friend Sarah, who had met them at Mars Hill church. Trace writes a blog, which I began stalking as soon as I knew we’d be moving to South Africa. Strangely enough, my other friend Sarah and I later figured out that the family I kept going on and on about used to be her neighbors! Such a small world. The DiCocco’s have been living near Johannesburg for several years doing ministry with a few different organizations. I loved reading through her blog, seeing the pictures, and imagining what our life might look like once we moved to South Africa. As our move got closer, I began to email Trace and she would answer all my crazy and not so crazy questions. It was so wonderful to have someone over HERE who used to live right near us and knew all about the transition process. Since we’ve been her, we’ve continued to email and we also made plans to meet up with them to check out a ho...

Family Fun Friday

We have almost reached the end of the winter holiday. Tyson and Jori go back to school on Wednesday. We have some fun activities planned for the next few days, but we will also be cleaning bedrooms and setting out uniforms and lunch boxes. Let the school fun begin! Overall, it has been a fun holiday. Tyson and Jori have both had school friends over to play, we've made it to church twice, we've been out for pizza, had donuts, did some baking, and more. Friday, however, was probably the highlight of the school holidays for us. The day started with Jori losing her first tooth! Our baby girl is growing up. We had a few errands to run and took the kids with us. While Darin was busy at Cashbuild ordering supplies for an upcoming building project at TYB, Tyson, Jori and I went to Pick N Pay and King Pie for a little treat. We shared with Darin, of course. We spent a few hours at home, then headed out at 3 for our big adventure. We drove slowly and took a mini game drive on ...
