Thulani in Pennsylvania USA - Update 2

Ok, here is an update on all of the activities Thulani has had over the last week! Thulani has been very busy! 

Kaitlyn and Mitchel sporting their Pink Out tee shirts for the month of October Breast Cancer awareness month!

First we began with visiting my kids’ schools! Mitchel’s Kindergarten class was first and he had a great time, while visiting his class on Monday, October 17^th. 

Then on Tuesday, the 18^th he went onto the Middle School to visit the 8^th graders in Kaitlyn’s Social Studies class and again he had a great time.

Wednesday it was off to fight some fires down in the Baltimore, Maryland area with their Dad. 

As you can see from the pictures there is more to fighting fires than just putting them out! He got to visit with everyone on the shift. There was time for working out in the gym and cooking dinner and eating it of course. 

Then some computer work and of course bed time! 

Oh and I almost forgot the best part, running fire calls too! J

He really enjoyed that best of all! 

Tomorrow we leave for Disney World! So there will be an update in a few days as we must finish packing for this big adventure we are about to embark on!

Thulani in Pennsylvania, USA

October, 11, 2011.  Thulani arrived in our home in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA to meet Kaitlyn, 13 and Mitchel, 5.  Harrisburg is the Capital of Pennsylvania and has the Susquehanna River running next to it separating, what we call the West Shore from the East Shore.  The Susquehanna River is 464 miles long and is the longest river on the East Coast that drains into the Atlantic Ocean.  Harrisburg is located only 14 miles West of Hershey, PA.  Hershey is known for its Hershey Chocolate Bar and Hershey Kisses.  It is popularly called "Chocolatetown, USA." Hershey is also referred to as "The Sweetest Place on Earth."

Some of the places Thulani will visit while with us are Baltimore, Maryland, where he will get to ride on a real Fire Truck (with Kaitlyn and Mitchel's dad), Philadelphia, PA the largest city in PA which was founded by William Penn and has many historic facts.  This is where the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776 and the Constitution of the USA on September 17, 1787.  Also a very fun and exciting place Thulani will get to visit is Disney World in Orlando, Florida!  And then if time permits a day in New York City!  He will be very tired by this point and ready to go onto his next adventure I am sure!  J
