As many as you know, Tricia's brother, Steve and his family have been in Tanzania for over 7 years. Two weeks ago, their parents and oldest brother, Mark came for a visit. Before they headed back to America, we took them on a safari. Here are some highlights of our trip.


To give you a perspective on how close we REALLY were!


Taking their afternoon "Cat Nap" getting ready for the big kill!

This male lion was about 30 yards from our car, what a great sight to see!



The meanest and ugliest animal in Tanzania; The Hyena
This guy was right outside our car window

Our Vicious Guard Dogs

We officially introduce to you Mocha and Max. We recently got them from a missionary friend. They are German Shepard and Doberman mix. We have always thought that having a puppy was torturous, let alone TWO! But these little brothers love each other and play and sleep together all day. They just want us for the food! Here they are before their 4 hour car ride into the "bush." They did not know what they were in for!

Our Home in Katesh

As of two weeks ago, we are offically moved into our first Tanzania home! It is still a work in progress, but we praise the LORD for providing us with a home that will comfortable accomodate our visitors and it is in a great location! Here are a few pictures........
