Safari at Masi Mara Reserve in Kenya, Africa

A zebra is the first animal we saw as we entered the  reserve.  We stopped to take a lot of pictures.  Little did we know that just around the corner there were thousands more.

this is a Masi Warrior.  You can tell them by their bright colored red, yellow, gold and orange capes.  They are the only tribe allowed to carry weapons, so  they are used as security cards everywhere.

This is a group of cheetahs that just just killed a gazelle and are having their afternoon meal.

Cape Buffalo

Gazelles

My favorite African tree an acacia tree.

Goonie birds


Elephant

Pride of female lions.  We never found any male lions.

Rhinos

When zebra are young like the one on the left, they have brown stripes.  When they get older their stripes turn black.

Family of girrafes.


This may be hard to see, but is you look closing you will see a long line of wilde beasts running from right to left just below the blue sky line.  The picture just below is a close up of the same thing. Look at the line of dark animals in the center of the picture.  There were thousands of them running somewhere.


How close do we dare get to a female lion.  We got close enough to count the flies on its nose.

How many flies can you count on her face.  Good thing she wasn't hungry.

We saw lots of pretty colorful birds.

The hardest thing to get is a picture of a hippo.  They are stay in water until it is to dark to get a decent picture.
This is just a few of the 200 pictures we took at the Masi Mara Game Reserve.  Later I will share adventures we had at a second safari reserve.  Granpa

Dear Tooth Fairy

A few months ago, Dexter lost a tooth while outside on the deck. The tooth fell between the boards and under the deck. The kids searched for it for days, but never found it.

Yesterday, Dexter lost another tooth and left this note for the tooth fairy.

A Test

This is a test to make sure Tyler's email/hosting problem is fixed.  Tyler, let me know if you get this.

And speaking of tests...I took one the other day and it was positive :-)
