The Big Five

We saw all of the big five while we were gone.  I have to say that after my mom yelled and scared the elusive leopard away, I was a bit worried there wouldn't be photographic evidence of our sighting.  But here they are:

The Elephants

My First Rhino

The Intimidating Buffalo

The Lion Cub I Wanted To Pack Up And Bring Home

The Elusive Leopard

The Safari is Real

I've wanted to go on safari for years.  And knowing that I am going to go for the last year and a half has been kind of surreal.  In my head, I know it's going to happen.  And I think about what it will be like, but all this time, it hasn't seemed real.

The count is down to two days before we leave and last night and this morning it started to feel real.  I'm going on the big trip.  I'm already almost packed (which is nothing shy of a miracle given my hatred for the packing chore) and just have a few odds and ends to pick up today and tomorrow.  And then off I go to see the big cats!!

And in just a couple weeks there will be lots of pictures to share.

Safari!!

I'm getting pretty excited about our upcoming safari....Despite my recent outbreak of hives and severe pain from the yellow fever in my left arm.  Just sharing a video to show how awesome it's going to be...
