The Bird Farm

Yesterday Janis and I took the 4 older girls (Annah, Dineo, Hopie, and Mary) to the Bird Farm in Rustenburg for a fun afternoon outing. The Bird Farm started out as a nursery where you could buy all kinds of different flowers and plants. But now they also have a little cafe, a playground, and more than a hundred different types of birds.



We ate toasted sandwiches for lunch in the cafe and then walked through all the different birds: big and small, some very colorful, some very funny looking. (Kenny, the whole time I was thinking about you and how much you would have loved it! I wish I could have taken a picture of each one for you!)



They also had a few farm animals, some marmosets, and monkeys. The girls fed leaves to the goats and held my hands really tightly whenever any of the chickens came near us. After we had seen all the birds and animals, the girls played on the playground for a while, and Janis bought them some cotton candy (which they call "candy floss") for the road.



It was a fun afternoon, and I enjoyed getting to spend a little extra time with the older girls. :)
