Micci outside a traditional Swazi hut.
At the entrance to the Village.

The girls going for a ride around the resort.

This little guy scuttled across the road as we were standing there. Have no idea what kind of snake it is or whether it's poisonous! It was moving to fast to focus properly.

As usual, we had to wait for these guys to amble casually across the road!
What a cutie pie!

The little ones were so sweet, and it was awesome how the big elephants helped the little ones cross the rivers and other more complicated things.

Just liked the tree....

Rhino dozing in the heat of the midafternoon in the cool shade.

The Southernmost Baobab Tree
We think it is a Steenbok.

Pretty female Kudu.

Leopard Tortoise that parked itself under our car to catch some shade!!!

Aimee..(Ooops...did I Say that out loud???) I meant baboons playing on the bridge..

Golden Orb Web Spiders

Water Buffalo

Knob-billed Duck...looks kind of pre-historic.

Just a whole bunch of really cool pictures from our time at the Kruger National Park.

It's Raining Again....

Well, it just doesn't want to stop! We have had huge downpours every day this week. Not one darn sunshiny day!!!! Did I bring all Canada's moisture with me???
Today we drove through to The Glen Shopping Centre. Boona had to go to the bank and we did some window shopping. The parking lot was a nightmare. There is construction going on and it was even worse than Southgate!!(In Edmonton....not in SA...)
Then we dropped Boona back at home, visited Granny at the pharmacy for a bit, then went for a drink at the nursery coffee shop....needed to get away from the 'rents for a bit....lol
While we were there, the rain came peeing down! So, we had to stay for a bit and started chatting to the proprietress...it was nice. Then we came home and made some phone calls and now the rest of the week and the weekend are booked up solid!
I have to drive through to Jo'burg a couple of times and am quite nervous as I have not driven out that way for 11 years!!!! Warren did the driving last time we were out, and I only drove South side.
Now my honey tells me he can't chat today and I am miserable because I am missing him like crazy!!! Sob sob!!!!

A Whole Week?

How is it possible that a week has gone by since I posted on the blog last???? Time obviously flies when you are having fun.
We haven't done anything truly fascinating besides running around to visit Granny and Grandpa. Aimee has played with Caily LOTS!! Talk about double trouble!
Micci went to work at the pharmacy with Granny and Lindy and she was put to work all right. SHe came home exhausted but had a ball. She will go tomorrow too to help repack shelves and sort stock. My poor little work-horse...
The rain has been unreal. I thought it would be good today for a while and I hung my laundry out to dry, and within 20 min, it came pelting down and the laundry was wetter than before!!
Hopefully we see some hot South African weather soon. Although I think for our drive up to the Kruger National Park I think we would appreciate cooler weather seeing as how our little car doesn't have air con or tinted windows.
We spent the day yesterday at a family friend's farm, and the girls had a blast. Micci learned to herd cows, and Aimee was helping to pick vegetables. Mom just sat and soaked up the cow manure perfume!
I forgot to take the camera but will try to take some in the week to come.
