Kenya Trip

One of the first things we did in Kenya is we got to go to a giraffe park. We got to feed them which was pretty fun! This guy had a huge long tongue though which was a bit creepy.

The first week we did a VBS Day Camp at RVA (Rift Valley Academy). This is a picture of the kids all singing. Every day we sang, did crafts, heard Bible stories, and had a snack. Camp was a lot of fun for the kids.

This is my awesome small group. I fell in love with these kids.

The 2nd week we took a 2 day drive to Kurungu which is where missionaries Rick and Carrie Maples live. You'll see the warriors in another blog. While there, some of us got to spend the night in a hut with a family. We also taught the men how to play baseball with gear from the San Francisco Giants. Another cool thing is one night we divided up into 3 groups and went to 3 different camps where we listened to the people sing, tell a Bible story and pray. What an amazing night for us to be a part of.

We then had 1 more day of driving to do. We were on our way to a game park when our overland rover got stuck in the mud. 11 hours later...yes 11, we got out. What a day that was! Then we drove all night dirty and hungry to the lodge/game park.

At the lodge, we all got to take a shower and eat a buffet breakfast. This elephant was across the water from our room. Too bad we didn't get to spend the night but that's ok. It all ended well.

We took a short tour of the game park before we had to leave. This giraffe was beautiful.

This picture is out of order but it is of a bunch of us girls one afternoon. Very hot that day and we had lunch in a dry hot area with lots of flies.

Beautiful Kenya!
