Road trip part 2

We enjoyed 2 full days in Nairobi on our return trip home. Day 1 was eye doctor appointments for the kids and getting new lenses. We loved being in malls again. The kids were so excited to see stores and explore the malls. It was our first time at all these places so it was fun to explore.

Coming for their bottle

We enjoyed eating out, having burgers, salads, iced tea(Keith) of course ice cream. We can usually only get vanilla in Musoma so to have cookies and cream, mint chocolate chip and other flavors was wonderful.

Elephants are very social animals

We also went to Nakumatt(Kenya’s equivalent to Wal-Mart). We were able to buy foods we can’t get in Musoma as well as some other stuff that we needed for the house. We all loved being in ‘western’ stores and restaurants again.

Enjoying a drink of water

The second day we went to a baby Elephant orphanage. They get elephants that were orphaned in the wild and take care of them for 3-4 years until the can be released back into the wild again. We got to watch one of the bottle feedings and Luke was able to touch one of them. The really cool thing about this was that last summer we went to the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg with Keith parents. It is a hands-on science museum. We watched an IMAX about an Elephant refuge in Kenya and a Chimpanzee refuge in India. This was the same Elephant refuge we saw at the science Museum. The kids loved seeing it in person after having watched it in a movie in PA.
