Safari

You can't come all the way to Africa and not do a safari! The guys were blessed to go on a day safari today. They went to Ngorongoro Crater where they saw tons of animals including lions, buffalo, elephants, rhinos, hippos and a snake... under George's bed. It takes five hours to get there so they drive up Friday afternoon. At the camp, George had the uninvited guest join him. He reached for his belt and grabbed something soft. YIKES!!!!!!

Here they are before leaving...



On their way in the park, there were tons of baboons. Scary! They can be so vicious.



Here are some Masaai kids on the road



Seeing a lion in the wild is incredible and surreal



At the crater



Before the guys left on Friday, they finished up the paperwork we needed to get done. It was down to the wire, but I think we are all set now. It's a relief to be done with that. While they were gone, Eli and I stayed home and ran some errands in town. The Reeds blessed us with a car seat so we can now tote Eli around while driving alone in the car. Before, I had to hold him while George drove. I felt like a real mom, putting my kid in a car seat and doing errands. It was freeing driving in town. I thought I would be nervous to do it, but it was no problem. It made me feel so much more adjusted. Like I was just a regular person living in Moshi, who isn't scared to drive on the left and is able to drive despite the chaos that is on the road at times.

After the guys got home tonight, we had a quick dinner together at our house before they headed off to bed. They all looked so tired! Tomorrow is our last day with them. I already get teary thinking about it.
