Breakfast on the veranda

Now that the weather is a getting a bit warmer, we are eating outside again. Very fun and Mommy is getting experimental with breakfast.

Today's breakfast was Rice cakes with sugar free and salt free peanut butter and banana smear.

Very messy and yummy....my favorite kind of food!

my Stats at 2 years old

FYI


I am 35 inches tall, and 30 pounds heavy (exactly). AND, I am a big whiner at my 2 year old mark. Mommy is quite happy with my height and weight, but sure wishes that the whinning would stop.

When you are 2, you MUST have cake!

Well, I know we celebrated my birthday with a party a few weeks ago so that my Grandad and Bada could be present. However, on my actual birthday, we still had a pretty fun time.

We had a great dinner out with the family to my favorite place, Impala Indian! And, my Uncle Gogo made me a great birthday cake....YUMMY!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME....I'M 2!!!!!

Goodbye weekend!

Well, this is a bit sad. We had to leave for Nairobi for the weekend on another fun family treck. Only, this one ends with Bada and Grandad flying back home to CA while the rest of us have to go back to Arusha and wait out the rest of this process. Very sad indeed!

We did manage to have a bit of fun in Nairobi swimming in the Stanley swimming pool with Bada a few times and going to the elephant orphanage all together. It was fun, but all with bit of underlying sadness that Bada and Grandad have to leave us.

I can't wait for the next time I see you guys....hope its in California!!!

Safari in the Serengeti!

I love animals....I truly LOVE animals. Well, Grandad has arrived in East Africa to visit us for a few weeks. It's my first time to meet him in person, though I've seen lots of him on skype. We had to leave Shei Shei at home as she would not like to be in a car all day for 4 days just looking at animals. I LOVED it though.

The First day we drove from our house to Seronera in the Serengeti. This is the area of the Serengeti where there are many kopjis and lion prides that live in the area. We stayed in the Wildlife lodge there for 2 nights and spent out days driving the plains and finding animals. SO MANY ANIMALS - lions, cheetahs, elephants, leopards, hyena, giraffe, zebra, small medium and large deers.....just so many many animals. We also took an afternoon off to go swimming in the pool at the lodge and one day I thought I got to go in the pool, but they were cleaning it all day, so Mommy and Bada took me for a bathtub swim instead. That was sooo fun!

After a few day in the Serengeti, we drove to the Ngorongoro Crater and stayed there and took a tour of the crater floor. We had more fun there and I was sad to leave. Every morning on safari, I woke up and said, "animal, animal". I just wanted to go and see the animals all the time! So much fun, and a great way to meet my Grandad and fun memories for the family! I really do love my family and guess what....I think they love me too!
