SAFARI

This is on our 4 day safari. This photo was taken in our first 30 mins in the park. The driver got a call that there was a kill and we went straight there and watched for 2.5 hours. It was great. They really eat ALL of the zebra and rip it apart in the process. In total there were 4 females and 5 cubs feasting on this tasty zebra. The cubs like to just play with their mother's tails more but they still seemed to get blood all around their mouths and look scary. We also saw beautiful giraffes, tons of elephants (my fav), a cheetah, male lions, hippos, crocs and many wild birds as well. It was so much fun to camp out in the "wild" haha.

Gorgeous Lions

Just glad that I was in a van the whole time. Sometimes we got so close to them you felt like they were going to jump through the van windows. But the whole experience was fascinating.

After braids

This is a photo of Courtney looking like someone related to Bob Marley. The part that is missing from this picture is the tears (well almost tears because it hurt like the dickens to get this things in my hair). It took 5 long and painful hours for 7 Kenyans to do this to my hair. Was it worth it? NO! But it's cool nonetheless and now I have a story to tell right?! They are currently still in but I will be taking them out soon (another long job).

Jon's birthday

This is the cake that Simon and Beatrice bought for Jon so that we could celebrate his birthday together in Kenya. It wasn't a "normal" birthday but he had a great day :)

"Christmas" with a children's home

This a photo of Jon and I with one of the children's homes that we were able to have a "christmas" for. We bought them each a new shirt, underwear, scarf (made), toothbrush, toothpaste and soap. We also bought them a lot of food for the month. It was such a blessing to be able to show God's love in that way.
They are a beautiful family and were very thankful.

Simon, Beatrice, Sophie and us

This is the family that we lived with in Kitale. We travelled to Mombasa and Turkana with them as well. They were wonderful people to live with. We had loads of fun
