Today we had a 5-hour drive to our hotel that is near the
Ngorongoro Crater. Tomorrow we will wake up early and head out for our safari!
Leaving at 1pm the drive with the girls went super well. They love riding in
the car and are probably the most well behaved when they get to be riding.
Their naptime lasted only about 30 min because there were so many exciting
sights alongside the road to see. They saw zebras, baboons, and a Maasai
villages. We knew their exhaustion would hit later but there was not much we
could do about it.
As we finally arrived to our hotel as
it started to pour down rain. It was really nice to have things cool off but
also made us worried that it would be raining tomorrow during our safari.
Before we all go to bed we will be praying for sunny skies. We got settled into
our rooms and tried to relax a little while the girls played but soon their
playing turned into pestering one another, which then turned into someone
crying. Their lack of taking a nap finally settled in. We decided to split them
up so Connor and I (Corrinne) took Princess and Happy on a walk while Christian
and Lindsey played with Dori and Maureen. Right at this time Ashton started
feeling really nauseous so he laid in his bed in his room while Blair took care
of him. We think he ate something that bothered his stomach so we are praying
he gets better by the morning!
We went out to the local pharmacy
to get him some medication. Soon enough dinner came and the girls behaved very
well until they decided they were done eating. Afterward, Maureen kept trying
to run into the kitchen, so I decided it would be best to take the girls back
to the room to get ready for bed while Christian, Connor, and Lindsey finished
their meal. Putting them to bed in a new place has proven to be quite
challenging but they all are sound asleep as I type this. Overall we had an
amazing day but a physically and emotionally exhausting one as well. Now I
should probably go to sleep because we all have to wake up at 5 in the morning.
Good Night!
It sounds like it was another fun filled and exciting day with the girls. It's amazing how important that nap can be, isn't it? I think it's fantastic that you are doing so much with the little ones, I know they must love it. You are really a blessing to them.
