Safari Pics

SAFARI TIME



Joel and his monkey friend. Before our safari we took a pit stop and while we were away from the van several monkeys climbed in the windows and stole all our breakfast food. When we walked out of the bathrooms we saw the monkeys eating muffins and bread and thought, "Hey that looks like what we had for breakfast." Little thieves!


Kristen and Amelia enjoying the safari.
These are some huge birds!

We saw a lot of gazelles out there.

This is an elk.
The zebras are so cute. I love their skin it is so interesting.

All I can say is that God is so creative. It is awesome to see how diverse each animal is.

Just a scenery pic. There were actually some giraffe way out there but you can't see them in this pic.
This is Lake Nakuru, which is known for having a pink flamingo migration.

Here we all are in front of the lake. From left to right: Jim, Cynthia & Michael Lemons, Kristen and Joel & Amelia.

There were so many flamingos there that half the lake looked pink. It was really pretty.


We spotted some gi gi's taking their afternoon break.
These were some huge birds in the top of this cool looking tree.
This is a white rhino. Everyone said we were lucky to be able to see one during our safari.


This is a lionness, which had just made a kill. You can see the carcass of the dead animal next to her.

This is one of the most beautiful birds I have ever seen. His color was just amazing.


"Everybody's got a water buffalo, yours is fast and mine is slow, where do you get them, I don't know but everybody's got a water buffalo ooooowwwhooo!"


Here we are in front of Lake Nakuru again.
This was another really cool bird that we saw. He was really bright blue.

Oh yeah- and I am pretty good at the flag game on your blog. I think its from teaching BGMC- I've always had a love for flags, but after teaching BGMC for 4 years I have learned the many flags!
