Victoria Falls

Posted by Steve on May 29, 2011 in adoption | 3 comments

On our honeymoon in 2004, Kim and I went to one of the natural wonders of the world – the Grand Canyon. Seeing the Grand Canyon was spectacular and majestic. Now, seven years and two kids later, we went to another of the natural wonders located right here in Zambia – Victoria Falls. Measuring at 360 feet high (not that we ever saw the bottom of the Falls!), Mosi-o-Tunya (or as well call them, Victoria Falls) is the largest waterfall in the world. If the Grand Canyon reveals the majesty of God, Victoria Falls reveals the power and might of God. It was truly awe-inspiring. I’m not even sure how to capture in words what it was like to experience the Falls. Maybe the pictures below will capture what I can’t. But I can say this: it was one of the most fun, enjoyable and incredible experiences of my life. Thank you God for the opportunity to experience Victoria Falls.

One quick and funny (now) story. Baboons run free throughout the national park at the Falls. We were just standing there, taking a break, when one of the baboons ran up and tried to rip Kim’s skirt off! She, of course, screamed. Jeremiah panicked that it was after his fruit snacks. With the screaming, the baboon ran off. A few seconds later, park security came up to us, having seen what just happened. One of the guys looked at me and said that if it comes back, and then, with a hand motion, demonstrated a punch. At first, we thought he might be joking. Nope. That was his recommendation. If the baboon came back, he wanted me to punch it in the face! Fortunately for PETA, it never came to that. :)

PS> My favorite of the pictures below is the one of Kim and I with our feet in the Zambezi. We were, literally, just 30 feet north of the Falls with our feet in the river. What a cool experience.

Hope spring is treating you all well! We have had quite a busy couple of weeks. In April, we went to Arizona for the CSRM (Christian Sports & Recreation Ministers) Conference with Paul, Dawn & Cassidy Oakes. Steve & Paul had a great time at the conference while Dawn, Cassidy, Jeremiah & I hung out at the pool and soaked up some sun! In other fun news, Steve hit the big 3-0 this month and Kim enjoyed her first trip to Baseball 101 with the Phillies for Mother’s Day. Enjoy all the pics (plus a few new ones under “Spring is Here”).

We are having a ton of fun enjoying the outdoors…a whole new world for Jeremiah! He wants to be on the move so badly and it won’t be long before he is crawling. He can now push up on his hands, almost roll from back to belly and can scoot backwards until he gets tired and yells…baby-proofing here we come!
