Where were you on this day 20 years ago?

Many of you might have found yourselves in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin on Oct 14, 1995.  Today is our 20 year wedding anniversary!  Hard to believe huh?  We fondly remember all of you that made the trip to celebrate with us then and we will have a toast to you tonight.  For those of you that we met later in our adventures these past 20 years, we will toast to you as well!  We have plans to take a trip to celebrate this big occasion, but we have to find some time and convince Charlie that he would be ok with out us for a few days, the girls would enjoy it and would send us away now if they could!

We did do one recent trip that I haven't written about yet, back on Heritage Day we went to a town called Dullstroom  (where we have been before).  Greg says that it is incorrectly named, it should be called Funstroom!

Katie got to dress up for Heritage Day at school here is her salute to the USA!

We had a four day weekend in Dullstroom, it feels like it  could be a little mountain town in Vermont with all of its shops, restaurants and outdoor attitude!

We went with another family and the kids had a great time having friends, they went to an art studio and made some amazing pictures over the time we were there, we also went to a birds of prey sanctuary and got to see the flight demonstration-very amazing!

The kids while we waited for the bird show!

Kelly holding the owl, she said it was very soft.

This is a secretary bird that put on a display of stomping the plastic snake the kid is holding-over & over it was very funny!

We also brought our bikes and the most determined bike rider (Charlie) rode hours every day  in the long driveway and whenever he could find one of us to take him for a ride.  The best was one ride where we shared the road with a whole pack of goats that were just grazing.  Surely something you don't see every day!

Note goat in background on hind legs eating a bush!

Goat crossing?

The driveway of the place we stayed, felt a bit like our NH house with the big tall trees- happy bike rider!

Cool indoor fireplace, our friend Chris kept the fire burning and we had nice chats sitting around it!

Outside Braii area that was super cool, we cooked in it a few times and one night even got to watch rugby while we were sitting out there!  Holly picked the house and found a great one...she can plan our vacations anytime!

Other highlights of our weekend included whisky tasting at Greg's favorite place, but instead of a ride back to Pretoria afterward (like we did with the Bodenhoffers) we just got to walk up the hill to our place.  The Dads also got in a round of golf at the most beautiful course in the Highlands.   Everyone had a lovely weekend, no one wanted to go back to work & school!
