Just me and my Dad
just me and my Dad!
My Dad and I went on a hike up Chapmen’s Peak. It took us 45 minutes to get to the top. (So not as long as Table Mountain) When we got to the top we stayed and rested for 15 minutes. Then, we hiked down.
check out that view!
On our way down, we killed the kraken.The kraken is a greek mythology creature. I like to pretend to "crush" them. It was some much fun! Mom and Sammy didn’t come on the hike because they were sick. :(. I hope that I get to go on more hikes with just me and my Dad.
Spier
We went to Spier it was fun. Spier is a winery that has a play ground, wine tasting ,grape juice tasting and bird sanctuary.
First, Sam and I tasted grape juice and did a chocolate tasting. Mom and Dad had wine. OF COURSE!
grape juice and chocolate tasting
Next, we went to the park. (mom and dad were STILL tasting the wine) We were mostly on the swing.
bird of prey show
Then, we went to the bird sanctuary there were barn owls, spotted eagles owls, secretary birds, snakes,YIKES, vultures and foxes. We also, went and saw a bird of prey show. It was super cool and I learned lots about birds of prey. Sadly, the show had to end short because one of the vultures had a cut on his wing. They needed to take him to the bird hospital to make sure he was ok.
Then, I saw the secretary bird show. I loved this. They showed us how they hunt and how powerful the secretary birds’ kick is. It is like a ninja bird.
I also went in an owl cage. One owl landed on my arm. It kind of hurt but more like a pinch. It was a fun day.
This is what was on me.
Look they named an owl after me! HA!
Look Mom did it too!
Back to Boulders beach to swim with the penguins
We went to Boulders beach to swim with the penguins. It was cool because it was my first time that close to a penguin. I could have touched them if I had wanted to but I didn’t because that wouldn’t be nice to the penguins. There were so many penguins. I got swim with them too! I wore my goggles so I could see them under water but when they dove down they went so fast it was hard to see them. The water was cold but it was fun!
SWEEEET!
See ya Nate!
Hi Nate! Lots of hiking - the pictures from the top of table mountain are amazing. Ian told me that he is very jealous and would love to visit South Africa one day! Penguins...awesome...you gotta bring one home! The secretary birds look pretty neat (and strong), I've never even heard of them so you're teaching me lots of things with your blog! Love the baboons on the car - very funny!! Are your Mom and Dad STILL tasting the wine??
ReplyDeleteHi Naomi! Thanks for reading my blog. I can't bring you home a penguin because that would be bringing home an invasive species. That would be bad. Sorry. Yes, they like to taste the wine. See you later
