...Game Reserve Adventures...: Update and last post over 6 months ago!

I have not posted on this blog for some time and thought its about time I put some photos up. Mitchel is now 15months old and has again changed gears! He is running around busy, busy, busy, and into everything! Lots is changing and we are sorting spousal visas out for myself, we have just received Mitchel's Australian citizenship and have started the ball rolling with our dogs getting injections and micro chipped! Time is flying by and it is starting to become a bit stressfull!

We just have to wait for April to get the go ahead from Robert as to what is happening around dates and times, so its all quite up in the air at the moment!

We just had an old school mate come and stay over new years and that was great to catch up again. I have bike fever at the moment and Kim is not amused with the whole thing.

Mitchel at 11 months

"pool escapee"- Mitchels first Birthday!

Birthday Cake, and singing Happy birthday!

We went on holiday to the south coast to visit Darren and Melissa and found a cool petting zoo with a tea garden, so we took Mitchel for a walk around to meet all the farm animals!

Kim's food to feed the animals getting sniperd by the pony...pretty funny! she left the sack on the pram for about a minute and the horse was into it!

Darren and Mitchel chilling at the Keg for an afternoon beer!!!

At Ngala View" valley of 1000 hills" for dinner.

Then there was bike mania in the Leighton Household. I am so keen on getting bike, and have started getting gear, but will have to still wait for some time until I can get one, Plenty of other things to sort out first! But looking at the KTM300exc. What a beaut!!! Also have been invited to come and ride in Lesotho in May! that's gonna be awesome! Have a look at the last post Riding the High! and see what this bike is capable of! I just don't know about the future rider! ha ha

Awesomeness!

December was a busy month for us, we had my family come and stay for 3 days and had a old school friend (Wes and Bailee) and their kids come and stay for a week over new years eve! So we did a few drives and relaxed by the pool and had fun! Good seeing everyone again, then we had guests over xmas and new years too! So all in all a busy month for us!
