Happy Canada Day!

Tristan and Emma made their own posters for Canada Day this year.

The kids also decorated our door and themselves for Canada day!

To celebrate Canada Day, we hiked to the top of Mt. Longonot, an extinct volcano rising 1000 meters out of the Great Rift Valley near Nairobi. It was a great hike, we met zebra, giraffe and several varieties of antellope as we climbed up to the crater rim.

In the background you can see into the 2 km-wide crater that is home to its own "lost world" of lush green forest.

climbing back down the dusty trails of Mt. Longonot.
