Our Faculty Family

Occasionally, after Friday night vespers, we invite our faculty family over. Every family "adopts" a group of students and they become your faculty family. The kids love it! They get to crash a faculty member's house, eat their food, and just relax. We usually feed our faculty family popcorn (which Richard pops in our pressure cooker) and homemade sweet bread. I made them zucchini bread this last time and it was gone almost before it hit the table. We splurged and bought them Fanta, too! Here's one of our "kids" being a poser! Now, Richard being a goof-ball! The kids love him! Some of the students from other faculty families came to our house after they left their "home-away-from-the-dorm". We must of had twenty kids over!

More Lake Naivasha

Here I am playing the "African Mama" with Nathan. He only posed for this one picture and then started to squirm so badly we had to let him loose. The lake was beautiful! Here's a lovely acacia tree, too. I made Richard pose for a picture. Can you tell? There were so many cacti on the island. I was amazed! I love this shot. The "shack" is where the guard keeps watch. You can sort of see him behind there.
