Anderson Family Adventures

Safari, Swimming and Soccer

Heading out for Safari for one night two days.  Kids were super excited to get to sit up top of the vehicle while Uncle Jeff drove us around the park.  Last time we were in Uganda as a family we went on Safari down to the Queen Elizabeth park, it was great then as we got to see hippos, lions and elephants. this time we headed just a short couple of hours away to Lake Mburo National Park.  It is 260 square kilometres of park with animals such as giraffes, zebras, buffalo, many different species of birds which Jeff gave us quite an extensive run down on:)  It was such a great couple of days to see Gods' amazing creation and to be surrounded by all His animals in their natural habitat.

 Kids love driving Ugandan style:)  We managed not to have any injuries.

 Giraffes, zebras, antelope, wart hogs all in one picture, pretty sure there were monkeys around too.

 Our very gracious tour guides and hosts:)  love them and the work they are doing here.

 Election day in the country, everything is shut down, it was super hot out so we took advantage of a pool day at a local hotel.

 One of Kylie's teammates donated a whole teams worth of uniforms from Soccer BC  thank you Jayden, Carmen and Doug for your generosity, the kids loved the uniforms.

 It is such a treat for them to have matching jerseys for games.  The pride all the kids had when we handed them out.  Thank you to all the Langley FC members who donated.

 This is the water break the kids get at the soccer school, one bag each for three hours of practice.  We told Kylie we never want to hear her ask for water during her hour and a half soccer practice again especially considering the heat these kids are practicing in.

It has been a great week here in Masaka while the kids are still out on term break.  They are usually back in school by now but with the election this year they were out for a bit longer.  They are still counting the votes for the election and there have been riots in Kampala, but we have not been affected down where we are in Uganda. Social media was shut down for the couple of days but we are back up and running.   Monday the kids all come back to school, so tomorrow we are heading back down to Kibaale for all of next week.  We are so looking forward to seeing all the kids.  We will spend the week making up the gift baskets that so many of you generously donated too.  The 45 new nursery students will love going home with those.
