On September 20th, we were blessed to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary! To celebrate, as a family we visited a local game park. It was a special day! Following are a few of the details, and some of the nicer photos we were able to capture.
- Tembe Elephant Park is about 115.8 square miles (300.1 square kilometers) in size.
- It boasts the largest elephant herd in South Africa.
- It is home to some of the famed "Big 5" (Elephant, Lion, Rhinoceros, Leopard, Cape Buffalo).
This is a list of some of the more noteworthy game we saw.

| This lion was tracking some nyala and impala along with a lioness. |
 |
| This lioness was at a this water hole along with a lion. They were keeping their ears and eyes open, as there were nyala and impala in the vicinity. |
 |
| This bull was together with about 8 others elephants, including a small calf. |
 |
| According to our understanding, these birds are called Crowned Hornbills. |
 |
| This is a little nyala calf. |
 |
| Two beautiful zebra! |
 |
| We saw this giraffe together with the following young calf. |
 |
| We were amused by God's creativity, when He created the very unique warthog! |
We were blessed to sight so many beautiful animals in the park! Even more of a blessing are the 10 special years the Lord has given us together in marriage!
And the LORD God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him." Genesis 2:18
