Enjoying Grammie and Seth's visit!!!!!

Sorry for the lack of postings, but the internet has been unusually slow lately and our computer has also been very occupied as we have two in the house these days that "live on the net"!!! Mom and Seth arrived in good shape last Friday morning. We did a little shopping and made our way back safely to New Hope in the early afternoon. We stayed here until this past Thursday when we took a safari to Murchison Falls. It was amazing!!! We saw a leopard up in a tree from FAR away (well, our driver did--as he was driving about 30 km/hr!!!--we had to look around before we saw it! Our driver is an amazing safari guide!) We were able to approach cautiously until we were about 20 ft away. It gracefully descended the tree, every working muscle beautifully showing through it's almost luminous brown, yellow and white spotted coat. Watching us carefully, it walked by our van and disappeared off into the bush. A once in a lifetime spotting! We also were blessed to see many elephants, monkeys, colorful lizards, hippos, rhinos, giraffe, warthogs, buffalo, Uganda Kob, hartebeast, oribe, and crocodiles!!! We are now back at New Hope. Geoff taught this morning at the Childcare and Family Institute and then gave a tour to those students this afternoon. Tomorrow we will celebrate Acacia's birthday with Grammie and Seth (a month early) and also take a tour of the fish farms, enterprise farms and piggery. On Friday we will again head out to another area of Uganda, Jinja. Late sunday evening we will take them to the airport and sadly say GOODBYE. Waaaaaaaaaa. We are enjoying having them here!!!!! The internet won't load pics at the mo, so will post this info and try pics later . . .
