Happy Birthday Tate!!

Today, we celebrate Tate’s 13th birthday.  Yesterday we spent the whole day at the waterpark.  We also walked to the Palace and found the elephant statute (pictured above).  Today we were up at 5 AM to go to Pilanesberg National Park.  We saw lions, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, warthogs, zebras, wildebeest, and one of our favorites, the dung beetle.  We came back to the hotel for a quick swim break, and we are heading back to see the animals around dinner time.

We have watched Tate over the years grow into such an awesome young man!!  He is kind-hearted, easy-going, and loves the Lord.  He is also a great older brother to Austin, Tanner & Hudson.  We love him dearly and know that God has great plans for his life…what a joy to walk alongside our children as they grow in their understanding of the world and how God will use them for His glory.

We LOVE you Tater tot!!
