Animals have feelings too!!

Yesterday we went to the Uganda Wildlife Education Center. Quite an experience! The kids had a lot of fun!

My 3 favorite monkeys!

Favorite sign

It's hilarious to me how some things are more important to some people than others. 

Take animal feces for instance. In certain parts of the world, people just don't line up to see that sort of stuff and yet in other parts I guess they do.

Yes, that's a giant wad of lion poo

More poo

A camel just strolling through the playground

Up close and personal

Just in case you had any doubts about whether or not lions were dangerous

Monkeys BESIDE and ON the road (not behind glass or in cages).
Just roaming around like they own the place.

Monkey crossing

More monkeys swingin' on some vines ;)

Total eclipse of the.... SUN!

Last Sunday we got to see an awesome solar eclipse. East Africa had one of the best views of the total eclipse and we were so excited we were here to see it! It was surreal as the moon passed in front of the sun and it got darker outside. We snapped a few pictures of it before it was over.

The old pinhole in the paper trick

Trying not to burn a hole in our retinas...

Hopefully 5 pairs of sunglasses was enough!

The sunlight through the trees reflected hundreds of crescents all over the wall & gate

African Style Halloween

Batman!

"Argh me hearty!"

Cupcake walk

There's no doubt about it... Uganda is BEAUTIFUL!!! 

Here's some things we've seen so far.

We named him Davie. If you're from DC you know why!

Almost doesn't look real does it?

Mango tree

Avocado tree

Now that's an avocado!

We made it!!!!

Well, we made it back to Africa! This trip over the big pond was a lot easier than the 1st one! All 18 pieces of luggage arrived with us in Uganda and we didn't have to open any when we literally walked right past customs!!! PTL!!!!!! 

All packed and ready to leave!

Waiting, waiting, waiting

18 trunks, 5 rolling carry-ons, 5 book bags & 3 kids....

Ready for takeoff!

Hotel break in Cairo!
We had a 10 hour layover so a bed and shower were much appreciated :)

Uganda at 4:30 am!!!
