Explorers...African style

Well, here are our two little Adventurers. Explorers. Times like these I sometimes sing, "Karis, Karis, Karis the Explorer!" and for fun, we also try "Sophia, Sophia, Sophia the Explorer!" and get tongue tied and end up laughing. (for those of you who don't know the significance of the song, you just need two toddler girls around your house for a while and then you'd know it immediately.)


Right before Karis turned 6, we took the girls to the Rain Forest Lodge. You see, kids are free under 6 years.
Our wake up call consisted of a tray of coffee, a warm pot of milk, and a glass of juice delivered to our porch.

What could be a better idea for a wake up call?? Right when you know your kids wake up...you're away from home and the comforts of your own fridge...you need time to get ready for breakfast... and voila: delivered just they way you like it.

And, it provided occupation while we waited on the Red Tail monkeys to make it through the trees to OUR cabin's view.

Then, it was all hushed excitement as we each tried to spot the rustling through the leaves, the monkey calls, the flying primates from branch to branch and tree to tree.

Too bad they were so camouflaged in the dense leaves...but, maybe there are some picts from the other camera I need to download...






So, here are the Explorers, in nightgowns, bare feet, and socks, running through the paths as the monkeys swung by overhead!
