More of Africa




Isaac and Joseph shared their fun memories of Africa in paint and markers.  I "think" that Isaac's is a very good elephant...but shhhhhhh don't tell him.  For one thing they didn't see any elephants on this trip...so I wondered...and then I remembered looking at his picture when it was a sketch and it did look like a rhino...which it is!  I think that the paint brush got a little carried away and made the rhino horn look a bit like an elephant trunk...but Isaac assures me that it is a rhino!  And the tree is added from a game that he played on one of his devices when he was on the airplane...so some reality in this picture and some fantasy!  Joseph drew a standing monkey and the rectangles represent the fact that the top/roof was raised on their safari vehicle.  I think that this is the monkey that tried to get into their safari vehicle and share snacks with them and then chased them down the road when they got underway again!  They have a video of the monkey chasing after them and you can hear Joseph giggling in the background.  He thought it very funny to be chased by a monkey!

We have had another very warm day here in Middle Tennessee.  Everything is getting so pretty...the trees are leafing out, the dogwoods are blooming, lots of flowers are blooming.  Such a pretty time of year in our neck of the woods!  Woody spent quite a bit of time out in the gardens again today.  Woody also did a little errand running for us this morning.  I had school this morning and then this afternoon, Donna and I worked in the church library.  We got another order of books through the first stages of processing.  Woody has just returned from taking Joy to and from her softball practice.  I guess the softball season for Joy and Esther is about to get underway.  This year they are on different teams.  Looks like we will be sitting out the Little League season as none of the boys are playing this time around.  I'm sure we'll have plenty of softball games to go to!  Let the ball season begin!
