Lots of wildlife





Spier 

 We went to Spier.Spier is a winery with grape juice tasting , bird shows, restaurants and much much more. Here is what we did .
First, we got in the car and drove for 45 minutes. Next, we went wine tasting ( grape juice tasting for us) Nate and I had 3 grape juices and tried 3 different chocolates with them. The juices were tasty. I only liked one of the chocolates though. 




Then, we went to the eagle encounters. It was super cool. We went to see a bird show with owls, hawks ,eagles and vultures but sadly the show had to end early because one of the vultures had a cut in its wing :(. But it was ok :). 




Next, we went to the secretary birds show it was funny cause the birds would stomp on the face snake's head and won't let go !! (don’t worry the snakes weren’t real) 

After that, we went into a owl cage and we held owls and one went on my head!! Also, one went on my brothers shoulder and there were two on my Mom . 



mom did it!


Then, I went into a eagle cage and I held a eagle !! It was super cool.  I kissed it’s cheek. 


Finally, I held a snake it was a red tail boa and it’s tail went up my pants and also won't let go of my leg!! 
can you see it's tail at the bottom of my shorts?


It didn't want to let go!

Then, we left after 4 full hours we went home. It was an amazing day. 

Boulders Beach to swim with the Penguins 

We went back to Boulders Beach to swim with the penguins. It was a really cool and fun experience. I got to see the penguins up close, swim with them and just watch them in their natural habitat.



SOOOOOO COOL!





I swam with the penguins. There was this one penguin that I was swimming with side by side with and then all of a sudden he just zoomed of away from me. We went explored the beach to see more penguins. We saw sooooo many. It was super cool. Finally, we left. I really thought it was amazing. 


We have also been visiting lots of beaches and I have been teaching Nate how to play the ukulele.  :)

  1. Hi Sammy, The pictures are fantastic and I can't believe you got to actually swim with the penguins! I love that you are able to get up close and personal with the wildlife, especially the owls and eagles. That's very cool! I'm looking forward to hearing both you and Nate play the Ukulele - that's so neat that you are teaching Nate. Did your mom hold the snake?? Were you frightened when it wouldn't let go of your leg?! I would be!!!

  2. Hi Naomi,
    Thanks for reading my blog. No my mom did not hold the snake. But she touched it. I was not frightened when the snake wouldn't let go of my leg I just thought it was funny. Nate has been working hard and it is only his second lesson. I absolutely agree with you. I love getting right up close with the animals and swimming with penguins is great I adored it.
    Say hi to Liam and congratulate him about making it to provincials
    Bye
    Sammy
