Safari
Living the dream on the Serengeti...better than National Geographic!
Lion cub watching it's mother stalk zebra. Unfortunately he got a little impatient and wandered over to see mom...scaring the zebra away.
See the crocodile in the middle waiting for an unsuspecting wildebeest to venture closer. We did see the crocodile prevail and pull an unfortunate beestie under the water.
The rest of the story...what they don't tell you on those wild animal documentaries. Thousands of exhausted wildebeests don't survive the river crossing and end up in piles downstream where the vultures, maribu stork and crocodiles feast on rotting bodies.
Fat and happy...have you ever seen a crocodile with double chins?
One of the "beautiful 5" of the Masai Mara....the Grey Crowned Crane.
Little lost giraffe...we were hoping he would survive the night!
Our traveling group...great company for a trip to Kenya.Monday, July 25, 2011
Kenya
The traditional dress called a Kanga. These ladies showed me how to wear one. I thought the ladies of Africa looked so beautiful and often elegant in their Kangas. They were rather hot to wear though!
Soapmaking class...Relief Society deja vu.
Our soapmaking ladies...so smart, ambitious and grateful. We wish them all the best of luck in their ventures.
Coast Coconut Farms staff and USS visitors.Bart had a great time working and training with them.
A girl at a village Muslim school.
Boy with the handmade school soccer ball. It is amazing how much creativity can be born from necessity!
Boys playing with their new soccer ball. Bart and his colleagues played a game of soccer with about 100 boys...or it seemed like that many. The kids laughed and screamed and jumped up and down when we arrived with a new ball and began playing with them.
The perfect trip = a mixture of service and leisure.We are so thankful for the opportunity to have spent time in Kenya. We discovered a very friendly, open, wonderful people living simple, family oriented, happy lives. Sure, there were problems, some very serious political and social issues, and poverty...so much of that.
What is it about Africa? It just gets right into your heart...

What's in Your Refrigerator?
This is what's in ours...right next to the milk! Yummy vaccinations required for African travel. Our arms are still swollen and our tummies a little queasy from all the shots we had to have. I'm sure it's going to be worth it!!???

Meet Dexter
Our new family addition...because "the kids aren't getting any younger" right? That was the fatal phrase and now we have taken the plunge. He already knows a few commands like, sit, stay, pose (just kidding), but he is so photogenic! We thought we'd be teaching him lots of new stuff, but find he is teaching us...how to be dog owners. Just like a baby, figure out what they need without speech and they will be content and love you.
