Last week was great! Mom and Dad came to South Africa for a surprise visit. Well we knew Dad was coming, but Mom surprised us at the airport. We took Isabel and Kylie to pick up a “package” at the airport. They were clueless as to the real reason that we were going. When Poppy came out I said, “There’s your package.” They looked around and never saw a box and kept asking, “Where is the package?” I said, “That man has it.” Isabel took a long hard look, and then said in a confused tone, “Poppy?” and then they both ran to him. It was great! The next thing you know, Yaya is coming out to surprise us all.
We spent the entire week together. Got the chance to show them a little bit of where we live. We went to the Lion and Rhino Park, to Soweto, and to a few of our favorite places to eat. The day before they left Dad and I went to play golf at the Soweto Country Club. It’s kind of strange to have it in the middle of Soweto, but a lot of fun. Pretty straight, but very long. Especially when you hit into the jungle, I mean rough, on each of your second shots.
It was hard to let them go, but we look forward to their next visit in June. I never thought they would come twice, but they are proving me wrong. Great parents and wonderful grandparents.
