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!
