Pictures from Cameron in Namibia

Today I did some exploring around the house and found some fruits growing on the trees in our yard. I wanted to show you some of these pictures. The round green fruit is a papaya and we have two papaya trees and they bear fruit every three months. We will pick them when they start to turn red.

We also have some banana trees with some bananas growing on them. There bear fruit every three months here also.

I also took a picture of a cool grass hopper, and a picture of Corbin with his hair all crazy where one of daddy's youth put his hair up!

We like Namibia!

We finally made it to Namibia. It took a long time to get here. We left our home on a Monday and did not get to Africa until Wednesday. We got to ride on four airplanes. Dad said that most people only ride one or two when they travel. The plane rides were long and me, Hannah and Corbin slept on most of them. Dad said that was great.

We got to see snow when we stopped in Germany. It was really cold there. We had to stay in a hotel for a long time to wait for our next airplane ride. We even got to eat in a German restaurant. We had hot dogs, but they didn't look like hot dogs that we eat at home.

Then we got to Africa, dad said it was South Africa. Then it was hot. I was glad because I like to wear short sleeves and shorts. Mom said I will get to where them a lot in Africa. Me, Hannah and Corbin were really tired when we got to South Africa, and we had to walk a long ways to get to our next airplane. It took us 45 minutes to walk there dad said.

But then after the last plane ride we were in Namibia. It was even hotter there. And when we got off the plane we got to watch a cool thunderstorm. We got to ride in a van with all our luggage. Dad said he was happy that all our bags made it on the planes with us. I was too because our box of toys was on the plane too!

We stayed in the Capital for a week. It was a lot different from home. Cars drive on the wrong side of the road, most people walk instead of drive and the food is really different too. They do not have Pop Tarts here in Namibia.

Finally last week we got to our new home in Grootfontein. Dad says the town name means big fountain. We really like it here. There are lots of animals here, lizards, and bugs too that we have never seen before. Here are some pictures for you to look at.

We are on our way!

Boy, the plane ride was fun at first, but not as fun as I thought it would be. Dad said this was a short plane ride and that we have three more plane rides and two of them are very long.

We are in the US capital now, Washington D.C. The plane ride was not fun because it was just like riding in a car, just in the air.

It was neat getting to fly through the clouds.

We got to eat at a restaurant in the airport, we ate buffalo burgers. Dad said we might get to eat neat things in Namibia also.

We are getting ready to fly to Germany. Dad said he is excited to eat German food when we get there. Plus it is supposed to snow also.

Here are some pictures of us in the airport.

Bye for now!

Birthday Fun

Here are some pictures of our Birthday parties.

Corbin's was September 18th and me and my Papa Fred's birthday was on November 12th.

Hannah got a Barbie Cake and it was really good!










Thanksgiving And Other Fun

This Thanksgiving we took a long ride in the truck to our grandparents house in Philadelphia. That is where our mom's parents live at. We got to spend time with our great grandmothers as well.

It was a lot of fun, and daddy made some good food for Thanksgiving.

This year we have lots to be Thankful for.

Jesus died on the cross for our sins is the most important of all.

Mommy is feeling a lot better from her surgeries.

Daddy got his work permit for us to go to Namibia.

And daddy says that God has used lots of people to help us make ends meet with the money.

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving and other fun stuff.

Here is What we have been up to!

First we have great news. My daddy got his work permit approved to go to Africa! Cameron understands what we are getting ready to do, but Hannah and Corbin have no clue. Cameron is really excited and wants to learn how to play cricket when we get there.

So we are getting ready to pack. Dad says we can only take a few toys since we can't drive to where we are going to live, and we can't get them all on the plane. We can't wait to fly in the air plane. Dad says it is a really big plane and we will be on it for a long time. We actually get to ride on two air planes to get there.

We have been having a lot of fun the last few months. Here are some pictures of what we have been doing.
