Serengeti Trip


Hi all- Hope everyone is doing well!!! I'm having a blast. It seems that we are getting to internet more often which is nice. I haven't written yet about our trip to the Serengeti even though it was about a week ago. We started our day VERY early...5am and made it to there by 7:30am. WE had a successful trip according to our guide because we saw not only the hyena's, gazelle's, wildebeasts & baboons, but we were able to see the more rare animals like elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos & lions. AMAZING. WE never saw a cheetah (sorry Megs...) but we were so excited to see all the rest. We stopped for lunch and later stopped at a resort (for $800 a night) for a soda. Some of the group bought souvenirs at the gift shop and then we headed home. It was a great experience for all.

Megan will be happy to see you again! And, so will the rest of us.

The HH group missed a connecting flight, so they won't arrive until later tonight.

Are you able to access your HH email?

Your technologically savy Grandfather, Bob, sent me the link to you blog. Yea!

It is way cool that you are there serving, learning, growing, and just experience a piece of God's creation that a lot of people will never see.

Love, Uncle Jack

David and Scott won their second round match at Wimbledon. David is the first Oklahoman to advance into the third round.

Dad and I are painting the bench on the patio. We both love you!

As Mom said, Megs just wants to see her Aunt Sarah. A picture of a cheetah in the wild would have just been an added bonus! We are so proud of you, you are a blessing to everyone that gets to meet you!
