New Year's Eve Weenie-Roast

There's no better to celebrate New Year's Eve than with a weenie-roast, right? Especially if you made the grill yourself? You've never done that before? Well, Richard and Derek made the grill you see here from an old water heater. And, the first chance we had to test it was New Year's Eve. OK...real meat may have been grilled, but we also had veggie kabobs!



YUM!


You could have your hot dogs grilled or you could roast them yourself. We bought this clay oven in town and had already roasted marshmallows in it before. Here are Lari and Alexander warming up their dogs.



These boys are such posers! Once more, Caleb and Kyle being silly.

Mt. Longonot

Once a year, the school takes a trip to Mt. Kenya. This year, it'll be the last weekend in February. All those who want to climb Mt. Kenya, must train for it. The training consists of several prep hikes, most nearby. But, the first and the last, or qualifying hike, take place at Mt. Longonot, near Lake Naivasha. Richard has climbed Mt. Kenya five times, so once more will be a breeze. I, however, definitely need to prepare myself. Here's part of the group fresh before our climb. This is the start of our ascent. Mt. Longonot was at one time a volcano that is thought to have erupted in 1860. You can hike from the gate to the crater's rim. We hiked all the way around the crater and back which is about 8-9 km.

Por que Un Poquito....

I've been inspired to join by a very shy friend who has put herself out there in the blogging world. I figure if she can do it, so can I, especially since shy is not a word many would use to describe me. Gracias , Shari! I've titled my blog Un Poquito . Why? Por que ? Well, I guess it's because I'm hoping to resuscitate the little bit of espanol that is left in me. I've been noticiing lately that I'm beginning to lose it, and that's scary. I tried to carry on a conversation with abuelita the other day, and she had to keep guessing at what I was trying to say. Pathetic! Really I have no excuse, even though I blame it on the "fact" that I don't have anyone to practice it with...but that's not true. I could choose to speak to Mami only in Spanish. I talk to her everyday. I could choose to speak to everyone I know that speaks Spanish only in espanol , but I'm so embarrassed sometimes. I hate it when I stumble around looking for the right ...

Elephant Orphanage: The Big Fella's

Image
The older orphans could hold the bottles themselves with their trunks. These guys are actually taken out into the park and introduced to different elephant families in hopes that they will be adopted and taught how to live in the wild. This process can take several years. The big fellas were more rambunctuous. We were warned about one female that seemed to know who in the crowd was afraid of her. Here's one "kicking" around a futbol. At the park, they don't keep animals. Their goal is to reintroduce them back into the wild. However, they do have one rhino which was born blind which cannot be released because he would be killed by the other rhinos if he unwittingly entered into their territory. His name is Maxwell.
