We ate some lunch, and then headed up to the office again yesterday afternoon to chill with the kiddes. I found myself getting super sad being there. I kept looking around at the people and places thinking I will likely never see these people or places ever again in my life. But to ease my sadness, I let Sharon and about 4 other kids braid my ...

Let's drive a little more: elephants, giraffes, buffalos, LIONS! <br>It is going to be a great afternoon, 3 of BIG 5, already seen (still missing rhino and leppard). <br>It is going to get dark soon, so we cannot spend lots of time with each animal, so we continue our way. Stop, what's that? A leppard sleeping on top of a tree!! Great. It is quite ...
