Adventures in South Africa

This week was our first week of outings as a family of 3! We have had so much fun getting out and enjoying and learning about Durban. Experiencing new things and capturing moments that we will always remember! 

On Monday we went to Ushaka (which I shared about in the previous post). A great beach and marine world experience!
On Tuesday we hung out closer to home, enjoyed a good long nap and tried to enjoy the pool but it was a little bit too cold :).
On Wednesday we went to Phezulu. This is a show that demonstrates a wedding in a zulu village and then we learned about some of the ways that Zulu people lived/live. It was a great show of drumming, dancing and history! We also walked through a crocodile and snake area that Josh enjoyed very much. Me, not as much. Snakes are just not so great for me :). Josh was able to hold a 100lb python with a friend of ours and he was in his glory! 
On Thursday we visited the Hope House for the foster moms to be able to see Solomon again. Then we came back and hung low for the rest of the day!
On Friday we went to a shopping market and had a GREAT lunch at a fantastic restaurant! 
Today we had a new adventure of driving! This morning we rented a car and made it to a mall where we met up with some friends for the day! We ate, shopped, walked and enjoyed some ice cream! 

Both of my boys are sleeping and I am on my way too! We are off to a new church tomorrow and look forward to experiencing worship in a new community! But I wanted to share some pictures from our adventures this week!



The amazing dancers from the Zulu village.

 The most amazing view from Phezulu! Gorgeous valley
--we were told on a clear day its even more beautiful!



One of the most amazing restaurants we have eaten at so far.
There are stairs all the way up the middle and the tables to sit at are on platforms on either side. Pretty cool!

A beautiful boy by the beautiful ocean!

A great day at Umhlanga Rocks! 
We stopped at the mall and then went to walk the boardwalk by the ocean!


I love my family pictures!! 

Time for me to head to bed now! Thanks for reading and we wish you a great weekend from South Africa!

Be Blessed...
