Another day at the orphanage

 We went back to Breath of Heaven Orphanage another day.  We have all fallen in love with those kids!  They are so precious!

 They love to play on the playground.

 We helped some more kids write letters to their sponsors.

This took a while but it really helped us to get to know the kids better.

 Hannah and Memory

 On this day we took some fingernail polish and polished nails.  They loved getting this done!

 They loved showing their nails off when they were finished.

 Zach helped teach a young man how to play the guitar.

 

 He showed the kids how to juggle.

 

 We took some tangerines to share with the kids.  They seemed to like this treat.

 Of course, they liked playing games again.  Here they are playing "Red Rover."

more painted nails

 

 and toes!

 

 This is a picture of Michael and a couple of the kids.

 Judy was listening to the kids read.  They love to read books!

The kids loved playing with Megan's hair!

We had such a good time! We are hoping to go back again before Zach and Megan leave!

Hunting Trip

 A few months ago Kevin planned a hunting/camping trip for our family with two other families-the Powers and Vines.  Each of our sons would get to kill a lechwe and we would get to visit with these families.  We didn't find out until a couple of weeks before we left for this trip that there would not be bathrooms or even long drops or showers!  Thankfully, there were lots of ant hills that we could go behind because at our campsite there was only this one big tree.  It turned out to be ok and not as bad as I thought it would be. We all had a good time!

 The sunset was beautiful but by the time I grabbed my camera it was almost all the way down.

 Two of our tents had doggie holes in them.  Justin used this to ask for breakfast in bed!

 Zach shooting his Lechwe

 

 It looks like the Lechwe is posing in this picture.  He made a good shot.

 Justin's Lechwe ended up in the water so it had to be dragged out.

 Jeff, Kenny, and Kevin looking for a big Lechwe.  Kenny killed two lechwe but I didn't get any pictures of his since I didn't go out that time. 

 Because it was so muddy out there Jeff and Justin had to drag his Lechwe to the truck.

 Justin does not mind getting muddy at all!

 Kevin was able to kill a Lechwe too.

 There is a fishing village in this area which we had to ride through as we went out to look for animals.  

 People actually live here like this.

 They are out in the middle of nowhere.

These kids ran up to the road to wave to us.

The hunting guide that went out with us said there were probably over 1000 people who live out there like this.
