I was just going through the pics with a friend and realized that day 7 is also not organized >_<

Just a heads up.

Here are the rest of the photos from the trip. One disclaimer: I've been working on photos for about 4 hours and am tired and the last album to do (day 5) has 443 photos. I won't be getting to it today. Though plan on doing it tomorrow. So I will still be posting the link, just check back later for the Day 5 organized photos.

So there you go. Enjoy. If people would like to blog and describe what happened on what days, that would be nice. I'm a little blogged out for now :)

Day 1 in South Africa

I have attached photos from our first full day in Port Elizabeth, SA. We went on a day safari as well as a night safari. The day safari was by far the more exciting one. We saw lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, hippos...almost anything you could think of (except rhinos). Our guides were amazing, the were really funny guys and made the day a whole lot better.

I think the most exciting story from this day is that while we were viewing the white lions (who had just killed an impala and was ready to feast), our driver, Zulani, backed up over a mound of dirt and we got high centered in from of this massive lion that didn't look too happy at us being here. At first, we weren't sure what to do. All of the family was thinking Zulani should just call someone to come and give us a push. We later found out that the area we were in had no radio reception and Zulani couldn't contact someone if he wanted to. But back to the story, as we were sitting there just waiting, the lion finally got sick of us, picked up the impala, and went around some bushes. This is when Zulani got out and began to jack up the land rover. It was scary enough that the we knew the lion was something like 5 yards away, but it was worse that we had no idea where the lioness was. While Zulani jacked up the front of the vehicle, everyone in the land rover had their eyes peeled making sure if anything were to happen, we would be able to give Zulani as much of a head's up as possible. Luckily, the lions weren't interested in us enought to come and see if any of us were outside of our vehicle. We got off of the dirt mound, found the lion to take some more pictures (these are the pictures where the lion looks severely disgruntled - I think he had had enough of us), and went on our way.

The night safari wasn't nearly as exciting, though we did get to see a jackal trying to catch a spring hare. The spring hare was cool, it hopped like a kangaroo! We also saw some owls, ostriches, bat-eared foxes, and other animals, but we didn't see any elephants - and this was at an elephant park.

Anyway, enjoy the pictures, I will try and get them organized and commented on as soon as possible :) Proceed with caution, there are at least three of us here that are trigger happy and armed with cameras so there are about 500 photos.

Enjoy!

Texas Update

Carson asked his teacher if he could be Brigham Young for the living museum at school. Pretty cool stuff. He explained Brigham's conversion, calling as prophet and the move west. 5.21.2008
