Safari!

We are leaving in about an hour to head to Masai Mara, the game park!  We are pumped!  It's one of the nicest in the country and one of the only one's with a hippo pool.  We'll be gone until Sunday so you might not have an update from us.  This is the link to the gaming park, http://www.masai-mara.com/.  It's not far from the town we are in.  In fact, the Masai people are one of the most interesting people groups around here.  They are what you typically think of as "African".  They wear all the beaded jewlery, have big, drooping holes in their ears, and can seem a little stand-offish.  They won't let you take a picture of them unless you pay first!!!!  They've figured out that tourist love taking their picture. Anyways,
 
Travis: You get the first shout out on here.  We can't wait to see you in September.  You better have something good planned for us!
Linda and the other Panama members:  Have a safe flight and productive time. We'll be praying for you.
Kara, Sam, and Anna: Hope ya'll aren't spending too much time in the pool!  Take a swim for me!
Anna: Hope the beach was fun.  Give Cruz a hug and kiss from us when you get home.
Stephanie- We're here for 7 weeks total.
Karen and Russ:  Are you back yet???

Tia,
I have had so much fun catching up on your blog. It sounds like a wonderful experience. Keller said you called before you left. I am so sorry I missed you. I misplaced the address. It was in the Messenger this week. All is well here and we are enjoying summer. You and your family are in our prayers often. Love, Cecilia
