Vicki, Fi's friend, is new around here and her children are so excited about ToyVoyagers that they can't WAIT for one to arrive (post to South Africa is SOOOOO slow!)
Fi let me stay over at their place last night so they can see what it is to have a TV in the house... Wow, very different from Fi's house where the children are younger and noisier! Lots and lots of homework and projects going on! And that includes Vicki who is studying too!
This morning Vicki's daughter took me with to school as she was going on a field trip. It was so cold early in the morning...
Here we are ready to leave the school field...
Then we got on the bus. Teenagers think they are so funny... look where they made me sit!
We arrived at Happy Acres, a nature reserve in Magaliesburg. Fi said it sounded more like an old age home! Ha, ha, ha!
The students went to learn about ecosystems, plant ecology, animal ecology, ecological pyramids, different types of soils and more...
If you ask me they need to look into housekeeping, that water looks revolting! Yuck....
Look at this funny tree I found, it is shedding it's bark!
I'm just going to look this way and pretend that I can't see that, that, that... shiver... huge dung beetle... Oh man, it is almost the same size as me. I don't care if it has a cute name - a Toktokkie is still as creepy!
We had to cross the stream so I hitched a ride in this back pack...
What a very sophisticated system, are there no engineers around here who can build bridges? I can see someone not making it across on this rope…
Yep, there's one in the water...
I caught a little nap in the sun...lovely and warm now, it has been so cold lately.
Heh, heh, this is the life! My little legs just can't keep up... it is much easier all round if someone carries me.
Time for lunch and a drink then we are off to another exciting place...
