Bryan celebrated his birthday on Sunday so I decided to pack a picnic and we drove to a small game park not too far away. It was a perfect day for a drive and a picnic and we had a lovely time. It is amazing how relaxing it is to get off campus once in awhile and just to be a family. The reason I choose this game park is that Bryan has been wanting to go there for a long time now. We went in July of 2011 with a few volunteers but it was before we had our "Beast" (Land Rover) and the BG truck was too weak to make it up the hill. There is such a steep hill and only cars with 4x4 can make it up the hill to go on a safari so we had to pile 11 people in Allan's truck to go on safari last time.
I did my best to get a picture to show how steep the hill is, but there is no way to do it justice!
There was a springbok who was very friendly and wanted me to pet it.
My kids love this swing. Bryan and I joked that we would turn the motor on and then just leave the kids for awhile, haha!
We had a little trouble toward the top of the hill as there was a steep rocky part with a sharp turn, but Bryan is an excellent driver and got through it. If it were up to me, I would never have even tried going up that hill in a truck :) We had a great adventure, one I am sure the kids will remember for a long time and enjoyed our day celebrating Bryan!
The kids even helped me make a 4x4 cake for Bryan. He said not to worry because his truck is still going
