Safaris, Baptisms, and everything in between

I apologize that these photos are in no logical order... I was just happy to have enough time to upload them, let alone have time to put them in order and group them by subject. So I put captions under each picture. Thanks for your understanding and enjoy!

Road/path signs in Mikumi.
Mti katika Mikumi (Tree in Mikumi) - I never thought trees could actually look this cool.
This one is from our first village visit (Twatwatwa) but I just got it from Steve and I LOVE it. (Tanzanians don't usually smile for pictures unless they are truly happy. This guy wanted to take a picture with me and when Steve got his camera ready he just grabbed my hand and started to shake it)
PH, Steve and Tim looking for crocodiles in the bushes.
The hippos in the hippo pond

Watering the cows. They get water once a day.
This one is for you, dad... its the original 'Norman'
On safari at Mikumi in front of the Hippo pond.
Massai man standing by his oven to make the bricks for the church he will build to be baptized in. (He doesn't want to be baptized until he builds his own church. But he still will worship with us.)
The water pump system used to water the cows (ng'ombe).
The water trough used to water the cows - It is very progressive for Massai to have a pump and cement trough, but that is how this leader runs the village.
(No special effects were used for this... it was just the lighting before it started to rain)
Driving through Mikumi
Another Giraffe :) clearly these were my favorite.
Zebra in Mikumi
Warthogs (or as we were calling them 'Wartburgers')
