Spring break 2010



We traveled to the coast for some meetings over the kids spring break. We decided to add a couple days for some beach time. While we were there, our daughter Raelyn was baptized in the Indian Ocean. Bryan and the boys went out to the barrier reef to surf several days in a row. The reef is out about half mile and its a beautiful place to see marine life, they saw seals, eels, and lots of fish, including a small shark that swam by under them one day. Great surf, and most importantly, a great memory!

Masai Mara



We traveled to Masai Mara game reserve with our guests so they could see some of Africa's finest. Kenya has some beautiful game parks where you can see animals in their natural habitat. We saw all of the "big 5" and lots of smaller animals that some guest never see, including a Bat Eared Fox and a Cerval Cat. I think most people were impressed with the cats however.

Kim and I hosted a team from the US. A group of executives came to Kenya to look at some development projects and to visit some orphanages that we work with. What a great group of folks. They are from the business world so they had a lot of great suggestions and ideas that we hope to put into practice. In addition to the brainstorming, they have pledged to help us expand the work we are doing here in East Africa. One of the guests treated Kim and I to a hot air balloon ride over the plains of the Masai Mara Game reserve. What an incredible experience. We are thankful for Gods many blessings!
