Tanzanian Travels - Lazy Lagoon

Image
This one is a bit out of sync due to me deleting it by mistake. Anyway J and Z having their morning Chai (tea) The view of the beach outside our banda on Lazy Lagoon Simon and Zara on the boat ride to Lazy Lagoon Pam and Joshua on the same boat :) Our "home" for the five nights. The loft area was where J and Z slept. They thought it was pretty exciting. We set the kids a challenge to make the biggest sandcastle. Of course the Mums and Dads were involved too. This one we made outside our banda so we could watch the tide come in and dismantle it. Even on the day we left the sandcastle still stood with only some battering from the ocean. Gives you some perspective on how big the sandcastle was :) At 7am we had Chai (tea) delivered to our Banda. J and Z got really into. Very milky tea with sugar in it. Even now they still ask for some. I don't tell them that at home they only get warm milk with a little sugar...cuts out the caffeine :) Zara loved looking for starfish in t...

Tanzanian Travels - White Sands

Image
On our flight with Air Uganda from Entebbe to Dar Es Salaam we made a quick stop in Kilimanjaro to pick up more passengers. This is a view of Mount Kiliminjaro from the plane. (its the furtherest away mountain in the photo) Our early rise of 4am took its toll as you can see. This is J and Z finally giving in to tiredness on the taxi ride from Dar Es Salaam airport to White Sands Hotel. A windy afternoon on the beach at White Sands Waterworld next to our hotel. The kids loved all the slides. Me on one of the slides at waterworld...felt like a kid again :) Joshua our little fish.... and Zara our second little fish... Simon and Zara enjoying the waves of the Indian Ocean The Wunderli blog has been quiet for the past couple of weeks or so and the reason for this is that we were in Tanzania. We were able to take some time off and go to Tanzania for 10 days. It truly was a blessing from the Lord!!! The first 5 days we stayed in a hotel on the beach called White Sands just north of Dar ...

Holiday Club

Sorry the photos are not in any order....but enjoy!!! Zara successfully guiding her balloon sheep to the rest of the flock It is not easy trying to be a shepherd and guiding the sheep towards the rest of the flock. They can be a bit unruly and stubborn....I think there might be a lesson there :) Luan helping the kids in making their paper sheep which we hid round the garden. The kids then had to go and find their sheep. The story behind this game was that God cares about each one of His sheep and doesn't want any of them to be lost. All the paper sheep and two of the balloon sheep happily flocked together. Sheryl reading to the kids at story time. They were very attentive!! Joshua and Zara are on holiday from school now. Since the holidays are fairly lengthy (return to school the end of August) we decided to do a holiday club for some of the MAF kids. I took on the first two weeks, then two other families will take on the following weeks. The kids have really enjoyed the time...
