Day 10- 30 March (Gold Reef City)
As you have probably noticed, I have not been able to keep up with updating every day, but I will attempt to go back and fill in some holes as I have time to sort through the hundreds upon hundreds of pictures that have been taken in the last week +. Today we finished up our stay with the Mack children in the early morning. Shortly after 12noon, Mom, Mike and I made our way off the Bethesda property with Bongani, Lawrence, and Moeletsi. We spent our afternoon at Gold Reef City (a theme park in Johannesburg) and then came home for a campfire and sleeping out in the tent. Tomorrow we will make our way to Pilanesburg National Park to spend the day driving through the game reserve. The boys have been having a great time and are enjoying all the time they can get to laugh, talk, and make jokes.
- We are here!
- They look like double-trouble
- They were a bit scared of the Ferris Wheel.
- The view of Joberg from the top of the ferris wheel
- Waiting for a ride…
- Moe was TERRIFIED of this ride.
- I had to talk to him the whole time to calm him down.
- Guys…let’s try again.
- Now he decides this ride is okay!
- Mike doesn’t stop talking…not even while spinning on a ride that goes upside down!
- Moeletsi actually likes it this time!
- They are definitely upside down on the ride…directly above my head.
- Bongani would have sat on my lap if it were legal…he was NOT sure about the roller coasters.
- Just thought he was kinda cool, even though I’m not a big bird fan.
- Let’s have some ice cream!
- Gonna get wet
- It’s coming….
- Almost there!
- SOAKED!
- Let’s go again, GUYS!
- In with boys and out with pirates…not so sure about the trade…
- Cooking hotdogs for the first time.
- No roasting sticks, but the un wrapped hangers suited the purpose.
- Mom decided she didn’t want to get so close to the smoke.
- I chose the get lower than the smoke method.
- Get closer, Mike!
- Burn those receipts!
- Like they are gonna get ANY sleep…
