Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with Linet and Jeremy

Fun with a live Santa and his helper, at The Hub in Karen

Linet, Jeremy, and I strolled around The Hub a while before having a meal at Burger King. Then we walked down the road a ways to attend Karen Vineyard's Christmas Eve Service. It was great to sing carols with the congregation!

Jeremy and Linet pose with what we think (?) was a cow 


The group, Spellcast, strolled around The Hub entertaining shoppers; we were quite impressed with their talent! We also enjoyed the singing hand puppets, and Jeremy tried his skill at riding a Segway around the open courtyard area.




The following day we enjoyed many, many wild animals at Safari Walk. The animals there live in large open areas, with natural habitats well-suited to them. We then enjoyed our packed lunch and headed home in opposite directions.


Our guide took us to an area not open to the public, so we could see this napping lioness very close.

Jeremy really enjoyed feeding this Black and White Colobus, a very beautiful monkey found in many areas of Kenya

We enjoyed watching this rhino quite close to us, as well as a buffalo, hyena, leopard, cheetah, and many other animals.

This shows the raised boardwalks from where we viewed many of the animals, including this ostrich.

I got this shot of an Agama lizard on the boardwalk (not inside the fence enclosure)

Jeremy really liked using the binoculars!

Perhaps it was a bit out of the ordinary for an activity on Christmas Day, but we had a wonderful time at the Safari Walk! 

You'll turn out ordinary if you're not careful.
