AUSTIN, MEG, AND ANDY IN AFRICA


What a treat to have our son and two grandchildren visit us while on our mission in Kenya.  Meg and Andy were terrific travelers and never did complain.  They thought the all-you-can-eat buffets at the game parks were ‘awesome’, loved the safari vans and animals, became best friends with the 3 chefs at the pasta bar, and thought meeting the kids from Kenya was the greatest part of the trip.  Everywhere we went these two ‘little mazungus’ (white person) were as popular as rock stars.  I know Meg has suggested to her Dad they return before we leave for home as she could play again with her ‘new friends’ and the fact that it is 1 degree in Utah and 79 degrees in Eldoret makes a return trip sound awfully enticing.  Thanks Nicole (who was home with the new baby) for letting us share some of Kenya with your family!

This Maasai warrior wanted to take Andy home!  He was our breakfast tour guide.

We had breakfast with the hippos.



Hard to leave the Mara, an exotic location loaded with memories.

Jet lag, trying to keep those peepers open at the Carnivor in Nairobi.  Tried a bit of crocodile, and other crazy meats.

They all asked "Where is Meg?" and were disappointed to hear you were back home.

Native Dancing -- Meg, Andy, and Austin were chosen to assist.

The last African Adventure before boarding the plane, we each rode an ostrich -- even me!
