Umgeni River Bird Park

We visited the Umgeni River Bird Park in Durban this weekend. They have hundreds of different species of birds from all over the world. Africa has its share of exotic birds, but South America has by far the most colorful specimens! James' favorite is the Toucan with it's long bright orange beak.

Grandparent's Day

Today was Grandparent's Day at Crawford Pre-primary. The children's grandparents gathered in a large tent and were served tea, coffee, sandwiches and muffins. They then proceeded to their grandchildren's classes where they were entertained with singing, dancing and craft making. I (Judy) was able to attend on behalf of Allie, Papa, Grandma and Grandad, but we were all thinking of you and wishing you could have been there on this special day!

St. Lucia

We enjoyed a beautiful weekend away at St. Lucia which has wide pristine beaches, a game reserve, and the largest estuary in Africa. We spent the weekend viewing wildlife and relaxing on the beaches in St. Lucia and Cape Vidal.
