Our cupboards are beginning to look not so bare. We take a regularly weekly shopping trip to town for groceries. Nakumats are more like your local Walmarts.
This Mara trip did not afford us many animals, unfortunately. I knew the bounty of our last trip would be hard to follow. We joke that all the animals were on Christmas vacation, too! Here are a few that weren't: This is the hugest (if that's a word) lioness I've ever seen. And, oncemore, we were that close! When we happened upon this little silver-backed jackal, he was devouring the last of a tasty treat. It seemed a bit strange that he was enjoying it all by himself. The most typical common animal to see on a safari--the zebras. These two were kind enough to show us there better side! Now, this was COOL! We came upon a herd of about twenty to twenty-five elephants! Here's one of the mommies with her baby.
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! I ended up showing these girls my wedding pictures. That made for a lot of "Ahhhhhs!" We really have a great faculty family. They even cleaned the kitchen for me last time!
