Sun,rain and hail

Hello,

This is just a quick update of our weekend. Two tired girls just went to bed and I got a few minutes over to write , I better use them:)
I have added a few more pictures, it might be a few more from Sun City then from our stay at a reserve close to Thabazimbi. Friday to Saturday we stayed with Roelof and family in Thabazimbi, children loves to play together, hide and seek, they are most of the time running around screaming `You cant find me`, all in their own english languages:) (... of course Viivi is just running and screaming), they love to be outdoors , and running with hardly any clothes on..easy for us compared to what it would be in Finland, just the thought of spending 30 minutes getting girls ready to go outdoors makes me freeze:) The weather here has been wonderful, even nights are warm.
Yesterday Roelof& Lusette took us to a game reserve 50km away and we had a great relaxing time.When we left the house the sun was shining, on the road it started pouring down loads of water and then it started hailing and it sounded like the windows where gonna break, we sat and held our hands over our ears,and we could not see more than a few meters ahead, and thunder, all at the same time, then 10 minutes later it is sunshine again, and the rest of the day was sunny.
We made a potjie, Kiras first taste of this african dish....and she liked it!
In evening we sat outside and listen to the sound of the nature, it is not quite, more like the bush comes alive after dark:) We had a few curiose warthogs coming up to us and some monguse.
This morning we did a long walk in the heat, searching for animals, we got very close to some giraffes, I have added the picture of a giraff from this morning.
Tomorrow we are moving on again, to Entabeni Game Reserve, I will write more on tuesday when we are back in Jburg.
Thanks to all my friends/family who have written comments, it as always nice to read what you are up to , have done, and how everything is going.
Good night to everyone from a warm South Africa!
