friday, feb 15

hi from masai mara, an area in the very south of kenya, near tanzania. we are in a tent camp here for two days. we are camped rught next to the river and the baboons- yes, they followed lloyd here- and the hippos woke us up a number of times during the night. it rained very hard last night so the roads were exciting for the morning drive. grandpa saw micah's jackal today, plus lions, hyenas, serval cat, topi, reed buck, etc. we are moving tomorrow to alodge about an hours drive from here for the next two nights. we leave early monday morningfor nairobi. another story we will tell later is about the trip here. the roads are very rough- lloyd says that is an understatement. thanks for all the news from home. hope kayley is well now. Jana, glad your surgery news is better- can't wait to see the braces. steve, are you coming to pick us up? Friends- thanks for keeping us in your prayers.. It has been quite a journey!!!! P.S. Would somebody tell Lloyd how the BB teams are doing? Marie and Lloyd

SUNDAY BLOG

Hi again. Tomorrow we leave this lodge that we have been at for 4 days. Each morning we do a game drive at 6; 30 AND then again at 4. Each lasts about 3 hours. This morning we watche a pride of 3 lions and later 2 cheetas. \later at the lodge we were sitting outside and about 50 baboons came through. I was taking pictures when one of them stole the book I got from the Hoffmans in 2000. I chased it as marie hollered at me. Two of the native dancers went into the bush and retrieved the torn book. A good time was had by all.
We are well and having lots of fun. Still appreciate the prayers. We will continue this the next chance we get.
