Hiking Mt. Longonot

Yesterday we had a great time with the Roche family hiking (or scaling??) Mount Longonot. It's an old volcano that still has the rim the whole way around it so it took a little over an hour to reach the rim and then 3 1/2 hours around and of course about 45 minutes back down off the rim again. It was quite a hike and very dusty. We were pretty filthy when we came back and took a shower, but sure was fun and had wonderful scenery all the time. (any direction you looked!) I'll just post the pictures below for you to see. The orange shirts you see occasionally ahead are Micah and Jonah.

We also went to the beach, fun...

Time spent as a family was precious and we enjoyed the few days we were able to spend on the beach down south of Mombasa. We were able to do some snorkeling on a coral reef, and just spend some time in the sun.

The next few blog entries are also full of pictures from their visit here.

Visit to the Masai Mara

We had a great few days at the Masai Mara. We saw a lot of animals including the big 5 which was lucky. Even the leopard was kind enough to show itself to us.

In and around Nairobi

Just some pictures of the time we had with family during December when they came to visit. We had a great time and were really sorry to see them all go!!
