Where is it?

Yesterday  (July 2nd)

At 5:30 in the morning, the Evanston Sollingers went on a safari.  We got to see lots of animals like rhino, giraffe, and zebra.  About as close as you can get to zebra and giraffe.  For two hours, we went on the safari.  

When we came back, we ate breakfast.  Have you ever seen monkeys at the breakfast table.  I don't mean me.  Well, I did and it wasn't Ben either.  It was vervet monkeys.  The monkeys tried to get in the kitchen.  

We need more sunscreen!!!  Because apparently mom has been flinging the sunscreen at some Ben-like animal.  But it was outside the tent.  I now call mom "a professional sunscreen thrower."  

Today (July 3rd)

Do you know any special way for packing?  Because it would come in handy because today we packed and moved.  There was warthog, buck, zebra, monkeys, baboon, genet, and hyenas in our campsite. Then we got in the car and drove to the place we are at that no one know what the name is. Then we built forts at the place we are staying at. Then we went to dinner and now I am blogging for you.

Lot and lots of love,

Sarah/squiggles  

            P.s  the place we stayed was called the Hatchery.  Look it up.  

Elephant Driving

Today we  went on a rod trip. On the way to the place we were going (called mpila camp) we stopped at an interaction. The interaction was with elephants! The elephants were in an enclosure but we stood right next to us. We got to feed the elephant and I had to put my hand in his mouth and put it on its tounge to feed it. We also fed him by putting food on his trunk. It was awesome!

Then we got back in the car and drove to mpila camp. Then we had dinner and now I am blogging for you in our tiny tent for 2.

Love your fan,

Sarah

A big whale of a time

Do you know where I could get sea sick meds. Because, well I might as well start from the beginning. The day started early. Because we had to get on a boat. The boat was for something watching, whale watching!!! It was pretty amazing we got to see lots of whales. The whales got so close to us we could almost touch them. Lets just say the fishy's got to have eggs for breakfast (the bad part is, is that Ben got to feed the fishy's with his breakfast). I felt a little sick but I was not bad.  Then we went for lunch at the Ocean Basket. We went on another boat to see hippopotamus, croc and a leopard. The hippopotamus was very fat/big. The leopard and croc was amazing!! Then I came back ate dinner and me and my guest blogger sat down and are writing to you here is a little something from my guest blogger: 

Hi every body.It's Georgie. I hope you know, that you have to come to Cape Town. Because  its so much fun.

Love,

Georgie

I send my love to all of you as well

Love,

Driving Zulu Crazy

Today we started out driving. We drove to a place called hluhluwe (pronounced ;;;;;;;:7--/&;;$,&$8:!:  ). Check out your window to make sure that there are no giraffe or rhino well I did and saw something. If you just look out the window in South Africa there is always a new adventure just waiting for you and I am telling you my adventure of the day. The day really started when we got out the car we were in the car because we were driving from place to place. When we got out of the car we had a late lunch. Then we got in the car again and drove to a traditional Zulu village. The village was very cool. It was like how they used to do things. Like little huts, they told us about their religion and they showed us things that they used in the olden days. At the the end they did a traditional dance for us that they usually do at weddings and special occasions. Then we came back and had dinner. Now I am blogging for you right now.

I miss you all so much

Lots of love, 

Sarah 

P.S: my favorite line of the trip happened a couple of days ago. So Sophie had finished crying and mom had told uncle Steven to tell to Sophie " you have the right to cry I have the right to not listen so go in another room". Sophie started to cry again so uncle Steven said " you have the right to cry I have the right not to listen so get out".

Spy Glass

Today did you happen to see wilder beast, zebra, impala and giraffe. Well I did today we went on a hike to see lots of animals in the bush. We Got a tour Gide and everything (accept the fact that no one could understand him). We got to see lots of animals and there dung. It was gross and cool at the same time! Then we ate lunch. Then we went to the play ground and found rocks to climb on and made forts. In the next hour we started to go on a game drive. On the game drive we got to see more animals. It was beautiful and we got to see lots of animals that are not in America (the animals are listed at the top). Then we went back and had dinner and now I am blogging for you.

Pfffffffffffffff ( as said in wilder beast Language)

By-by,

Meisie (my South African name).

Invasion of the horses and monkeys

Today started out like a regular day, sunny and nice out side. Then we went horse back riding. Me and Georgie rode terrorists. mine was named bin laden  and Georgie's was saddam.  Me, Ben and Georgie's horses were always the last three in the pack.  But the guide kept going without us.   At one point, Georgie and my horses stopped altogether.  We had fun on the trail without our parents.  

After lunch, we went to the park and there were a troop of baboons!  10 feet away from us.  Go check and make sure your doors are locked before you go to bed.  Because the baboons can open doors and mess up your house. After the baboon encounter we sort of hung around.

Just before dinner we went went to a sheeben (sheeban is a mud hut which  is an illegal liquor store that villagers use).  On the outsides of the mud houses they carve in to the mud to make design. It looks like they use forks to make the design.

Tomorrow is a road trip day so you may not hear from me.

I miss you all so much and I will continue to miss you 

Lots of love, 

Sarah 

A big shout out to Eden. Braai is like barbecue. It is also amazing to see my cousins for the first time in a year. 

I miss you too!!

Cheep-cheep and walking

Our eyes were just opening to see the world.  Never had I heard such a noisy group of geese ): To the show we went the flying show a BIRD show! It was amazing it was superb it was stunning.  They let the birds fly in the sky but they did come back (most of them). They were letting one of the birds go called a falcon go fly and they could not get him back down to ground. We went on  hike to a beautiful  waterfall. Then we came back and fed the bunnies. Came home made a braai ate dinner and now I am blogging to you.

From your fan,

Sarah/ Squiggles         (:
