Happy Birthday!



Yesterday was Allison's birthday. All she wanted for her birthday was to go to a place called Capt. Davis' just outside of town because she heard you could ride camels and ostrichs.

It was awesome and very interesting...When we arrived there we thought we had gone to the wrong place. But we decided to explore anyway.
The guide took us to the game park area where you could walk around and get really close to the zebras and impalas...




The is our guide and his outstanding glasses...







It started to pour, so we had to go inside for a while...We ended up running into Capt. Davis himself and spent a few hours with him talking until the rain let up and we could wander around more...
He was an interesting fellow, we found out he was a former Member of Parliament and did something with the governments of East Africa.

The camp grounds...We found some awesome spiders and slugs in the drop toilets...


I loved this tractor, it reminded me of something I would have seen in Tennessee...






We rode some horses...




Meanwhile Chris hung out with the giraffe...



After riding horses, they saddled up the osterichs...




Chris was super excited...


I can't say an ostrich is the most sturdy animal


Before...


After...Yes I kind of fell off at the end...but only because it started running at the end...


Capt. Davis


It was a fun and interesting afternoon, definitely an experience and adventure...I hope Allison had a great birthday even though she was away from home...
