Mercy's vacation











Mercy is going to tell you about her trip to Kruger National Park!

"I got to see a spotted hyena, a leopard, an elephant, a hippopotamus, a rhino, a zebra, a crocodile, a giraffe, a chameleon, a lion, a cape buffalo, a wildebeest and lots of different kinds of deer, like impala. Um, at Kruger Park I saw lots of animals and it took a lot of time and I even had to sleep in the car. It was fun and scary and I was really tired. We stayed at Hazyview Cabanas and it was really fun there. I got to swim there. I rode on an elephant and it was really fun. I got to rode on the biggest elephant and his name was Tempo. He was really bumpy and it was my first time riding an elephant. Not for Elijah and Faith because they got to ride one at the circus once. He did not get to eat because he wasn't hungry. I feeded him when we were about to ride him. He ate tiny pills (actually large pellets but small when compared to an elephant's trunk).
Goodbye - Mercy"

  4. Merc, thanks for sharing! I'm so jealous that you got to not only see all of those amazing animals, but especially about getting to ride an elephant. Give Oma and Papa an extra big hug from me please.
