Sun City-Disneyland wannabe!

We had no weekend sports after a Friday field hockey game for Katie where she started on the A team ad scored her first goal!  Not too shabby for a kid who never played field hockey a few weeks ago!  

Sat we decided that we should head our of Pretoria to see what we could see.  We tried to stay at two different game lodges near pilanasberg game reserve but both were booked, so instead we went down the road to Sun City, soon to be featured in a movie coming out called Blended.  It is like a tired Florida resort trying to be like Disney with a little casino mixed in.  It has a big water park which was closed for winter maintenance.  What was so strange was you to get there you drive past the poorest villages where kids are playing soccer in bare feet on a red dirt field and grandmothers are herding goats, then you pull into this crazy over the top place where people are throwing money around like its nothing?

We threw some money around so Charlie could drive his own 4 wheeler, he loved it!

We did a cool maze where you walk across a rope bridge then find your way to a pub where the kids had the best popcorn in Africa so far(most places put strange seasonings on it)

The kids and Greg got to see the movie X-men which isn't out in the states yet, so they thought that was cool-I read a good book!

Greg is fighting a stomach bug so he has a rough night and morning, here is a picture of him lying by the little lake trying to survive, in the old days that might have been brought on by too many drinks the night before!  We hope he gets better soon and none of us get it!

Happy Memorial Day, Greg is off here and the girls are in school we didn't even tell them it was a holiday back home or there would have been much complaining!
