I’ve been thinking about today for a while, not really sure I’ve wanted it to come. One year ago today we arrived back in Minnesota after 13 months in Kenya. There are just so many feelings around thinking about it. So many questions. And yes, there are tears.
This won’t be the last post covering the sights we took in while on safari before leaving Kenya simply because we saw so many incredible creatures!
Our home in Kenya was only two hours away from the incredibly gorgeous Maasai Mara National Reserve. We had the opportunity to make the (incredibly bumpy) trek there a few times in our first year. It’s a really fun place to take friends when they visit, and the kids never grow tired of seeing the animals. I’d describe it like stepping into The Lion King. We may not have ever spotted Pride Rock, but we did see plenty Simba’s friends! I have so many photos from our last two visits in May and June that I’ve split them into different groups for posting. Today, I present to you the twiga, Swahili for giraffe.
Before we move into the Christmas season, I need to share a few fall photos! It may not have felt like fall in Kenya, but that didn’t stop us from decorating and celebrating one of my very favorite seasons. I remember missing the changing leaves when I lived in Honduras, so I was sure to purchase a package of artificial leaves before leaving Minnesota. They were a fun addition to our harvest festival!
