Four Fabulous days of Rest & Refreshment


We just got back from four days by the beautiful Lake Naivasha, only 2 hours out of the bustling city of Nairobi, Kenya.


We rented a little cabin for 3 nights and spend the days hiking, swimming, and venturing out to see animals.
 
 
 We enjoyed bonfires every night, complete with roasting marshmallows.


On one of our hikes Evan found a warthog jaw bone




We aren't sure what animal this was so we called it the mystery skull


What a spectacular view! We were so glad the boys enjoyed hiking.
 


We even got to walk out with the wild animals! At one place we weren't allowed out beyond a certain point because there were agressive buffaloes nearby.





Isaac and Evan find a tree to climb wherever they go!
 


Evan got really good at snorkeling this trip.
 



 
Food is a highlight wherever we go. We cooked our own meals at the cabin but ate out during the day at the lodges we visited. Now we're back in Nairobi with one week to go before we jump back on a small airplane and head home to Melut.

Great family memories! I remember visiting Naivasha for the first time when I was 7. Your kids will remember those family times as some of the best in their lives. So glad you got to do that.

Why does sickness like to hang around so long???

Only a few days after returning from our trip to Kenya, Judah started spiking high fevers. We took him to our clinic here in town for blood ...
