Kenya Trip: With Wil & Brayden 2010

Whew! What a trip we had (Nov. 26th - Dec 11th). I have everything on here except our over night in Paris on the way back. I will apologize for some pictures out of order, but as my friend Theresa Manchester says, "Jane, at least they're in there! That's what counts!" We hope you all enjoy! Merry Christmas! (I will keep you updated with more recent posts.)



































Time in Nakuru: Hotel, Playground, etc...
