D has been told since we had dates to go to Africa that Gene would take her to see elephants. Today we got half way there as we went to a game park with a couple of animals. It is no Kruger Park but we had the time today and it was a short distance away from our house so off we went. Tala Game Reserve had no predators so only Giraffes, Rhinos, Hippos, Zebras and much more. It was a great day trip for us and D was SOOO excited this morning when we told her we were FINALLY going to go see some animals.
It was a great day but all were exhausted when we got home. The girls had their naps on the van ride home and the men enjoyed theirs when we got home. The kids are starting to get tired. . .a little crabbier then normal, some extra wining and testiness. Z has 3 teeth on the verge of popping and has come out of her shell to show she has a very quick temper. When angry she tends to slap her big sister and has even been seen to try to bite though hasn't made connection yet. Needless to say we are ready to move to our new house tomorrow!
Our cottage in Southbroom is a 4 bedroom home which should bode lots of more space. It is close to the ocean so hopefully D can finally get all the way wet in some warm water and a parent might be brave enough to go in with her. This area is almost 2 hours outside of Durban so lots of new things to see to keep the adults busy as well. We are leaving here right after breakfast in the morning so should be in our new location by lunch time.
Z's passport application went out yesterday so we are praying for a speedy response on this as well! When Z's passport comes in we will look into earlier flights home though our travel agent said due to the business of summer the likelihood of fitting us all on an earlier return flight is not very high. What ever will be will be. We may just have 2 1/2 weeks to tour around South Africa!!
This may be my last post for a bit as we will not have WIFI in Southbroom. I will continue to write and when I get some internet will post all I can!
