Family Night at Ziggies

Friday nights are family night for us. The rest of the week is full, and most of the time in the evening. So tonight we went to Ziggy's house for dinner. Ziggy is the town butcher in Grootfontein. The kids loved it. Ziggy has lots of pets at his house, the most famous one in town is his full grown male lion!

The kids really enjoyed seeing him tonight before dinner. They even got to see the helper feed him. The lions name is Mufasa, from the Lion King. The story of Mufasa is that one day when Ziggy was out hunting, he came upon a lion cub that had been left by the tribe. So he took it home and nursed it. For a while Mufasa was the house pet until one day Ziggy came home and Mufasa had killed his horse and was eating it for dinner. So now Mufasa stays behind a fence.

Ziggy also has some cheetahs, prairie dogs, wart hogs, bob cats, emu's, rabbit's and who knows what else. Below are some pictures from the night.

We also got Hannah a mozzie net tonight. This is what they call mosquito nets. Hannah is just so sweet that they can't get enough of her at night time. We told her it was a princess tent for her bed! She liked that idea better.

Tomorrow is my first youth group, so I am excited about that.

Hope everyone is getting ready for the Snow. Enjoy some for us, and we will enjoy the sunny and 95 degree weather for you! :)
