The Childrens' Point of View
As this is a big adventure for the family, it is important to listen to the thoughts of the children (Ty - 5 years old, Kyle – 7 years old, Tait – 9 years old, and Jordan – 11 years old. Here are some of their initial thoughts about the move to Mombasa.
What do you think about spending a year in Africa ?
Ty "happy"
Kyle "good"
Tait "excited"
Jordan "eager"
What are you looking forward to or what do you want to do in Africa ?
Ty “ go in swimming pools and see elephants and hippopotamuses”
Kyle “ swim with the dolphins and play in the ocean”
Tait “different experiences playing and going to school with the Keyons”
Jordan “different country’s beliefs and lifestyle, and scuba diving”
What are you worried or scared about ?
Ty “nothing”
Kyle “being the only white skinned person”
Tait “the diseases in Africa”
Jordan “making new friends and trying out new sports like cricket”
What is the THEME SONG of the trip ?
Ty “Wiggles”
Kyle “By the Sea” by Amanda Shelby
Tait "I'm Already There" by Lonestar
Jordan "time of your life" by Green Day
The parents also have a theme song:
Brenda: "I Hope You Dance" by Leanne Womack
Scott: "100 Years" by Five For Fighting
