Twigas!

We do apologize for the lack of consistent blogging lately, but to our credit, we have been doing come cool things! The entire McCropder clan took a trip to Nairobi for 4 days this past weekend, and it was a busy time, which will be well documented on one of the blogs sooner or later. We shopped for, and found, an 11 passenger used van to buy, Eric and I got our work visas (making us "official" legal Kenyan aliens), and we visited about six grocery stores to stock up. At least we spent less than last time (about 25% of what we spent last time, which was a relief!!). Anyway, in the midst of all this we found time to do something touristy, and spent a few hours at the giraffe park in Nairobi. We were especially excited because our brand new Kenyan visas gave us resident prices ($1.25 instead of $10).

The pictures pretty much speak for themselves...There's one more of a giraffe kissing me (eating a food pellet that was placed between my pursed lips) that someone else took, which I'll have to post separately. Mags did ok, but got a little freaked out. When I look at the pics, I can see why. The giraffes' heads are bigger than her entire body!
