June 17th

Today we woke up early to go on a 6AM Safari. At first I did not want to go on the Safari because I wanted to sleep in, but I am sure glad I went (not like I had a choice though). The animal I wanted to see the most came pretty close to us. After the Safari we traveled back to the CMF grounds to get our luggage. Man, the ride was awfully long and way to bumpy. I really just wanted to have my IPod so I could distract myself.

We had lunch in our buildings and then departed for the airport where we would fly to London.

Our cold and tired selves on the Safari. There were not a lot of animals out at first.

Nikki and her photography

A little elephant family. The baby is in the middle.

A hyena walking through a gazelle pack. He did not bother them. I thought he would attack.

The lady lions waking up

*yawn*

A jackal

A warthog (Pumba lives)

THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SAFARI

Look at his strong build

He walked up close to our van and just laid down.

I hope that God lets us lay with the lions in Heaven

This guy was MAD. Someone in the other van stood on the seat (which is not allowed) in order to get a picture, and he roared at them. Unfortunately I didn't get to hear that. The Kenyan men we were with said that we needed to drive away. Since our escorts have all fearlessly killed male lions before, we knew this situation was risky.

Look at his eyes.... so much anger

Hippos!

Ugh he is just so beautiful.

Bishop James, Ben, and I

Moses and I. He drove our van through the Safari.
