haven't seen that one...

We've uploaded a number of Kenya photos to photobucket, so drop me an email (preferably) or comment and I'll forward the link your way. Prior to the trip we purchased a new camera and two 4 gigabyte memory cards. The camera took amazing photos when the correct autofocus feature mode was used. I had the wrong mode selected for most of the trip and some of the photos came out fuzzy. Needless to say, we filled an entire memory card.

Here's a little taste of what we encountered:

We saw these lions in Masai Mara, the large Serengeti game preserve in Kenya. We came upon these lions by way of the numerous safari vehicles that had gathered in at this spot. Commercial tourist drivers are in the Mara with tourists every day. They have radios to talk with other drivers in order to make sure their clients get a diverse safari. Basically, it's all about the tips and providing the clients with a good story to take back to their friends and family.

Nonetheless, the lions were amazing to behold! Earlier that morning, they had take down a cape buffalo for breakfast.


A week ago we hosted a bbq at our apartment. We have wonderful friends, and as a result, we had a wonderful party. We're also especially thankful that our apartment was comfortable enough for us to host everyone. Lastly, we're thankful for the strength God gave us in order to stay up well past our bed time! A couple of the evening's highlights... Michael boiled brats in beer and onions, then bbqed them! Steven showed off his amazing thumb muscles... Drew and I are soooo envious! And Adam stole the cooking show by making an amazing jumbalaya.





Our friends love it when we put their pictures on the internet... I'm assuming.
