Picnic with the Boone's

Mike and Amy Boone (IMB missionaries to J-burg) took us to a park near Stellenbosch today. On the way we were able to see lots of different animals in a park near by. We saw lots of ostrich and other "deer" like animals. We also had a great view of the vineyards and mountains.

We picked up our picnic food at the deli on the Spiers land. They also have a restaurant that has great authentic food and music. We will come back at another time to visit that restaurant. Today we had a picnic.

Mrs. Amy brought some bread for she and Karis to feed the ducks and geese. Karis was not so sure about the ducks to begin with, but after a while she warmed up to them.




Dad and Karis also got to go pet the cheetahs. Spiers has a cheetah refuge on it's land as well as a place for many different species of birds. We did not get to see many of the birds, but Karis did enjoy seeing the cheetahs.
We had a great time today. We are hoping to get to spend more time with the Boone's while we are here. Page is guest lecturing in Mike's class one day next week and we are planning on visiting J-burg to see the cites there. Their daughter Grace is going to babysit for the girls next Saturday so that Page and I can do a little site seeing in places that might be hard for them to go (like on the boat to see the whales and such).

We are having a great time. Hope to post more later.
