Despite our last trip to Johannesburg not being ideal, we were able to do some fun things there that I don’t want to get lost in the health challenges justifying our visit.

We celebrated Rachael’s 10th birthday there at a very fun trampoline park with our dear friends.

We also got the opportunity to celebrate some of our friends’ birthdays, which is always a treat because when you live a country apart those opportunities are few and far between.

We went to a zoo and enjoyed eating at a few restaurants with some of our fellow colleagues and friends.

The girls got the opportunity to go on a park outing with some colleagues/friends too while Matt and I were at doctors appointments.

A few mornings this wonderful little girl spontaneously decided to cook the whole family breakfast. She saw an opportunity to serve and she stepped up to the plate humbly and quietly. Her little heart of gold.

And of course this guy poured over our little ladies, playing endless games, and shining as a SuperDad while this mommy recovered.

Yes, even amongst the challenge of that trip, we were able to find MUCH joy.

Together.

Making some refreshing lemonade out of lemons. =)
