January 2013 was a busy month for us as the kids went back to school the second week of January.
However, before Zara went back to school she had her hair braided by the lady who works next door, Rose. Rose came over on a Saturday afternoon & spent a few hours braiding Zara's hair.
Zoe also wanted her hair braided which we decided against because of the amount of time it would have taken. So we took a photo of her after we took Zara's.
Through out January our garden was very green & the kids had fun hanging out there.
In January Tim went to the US & on his way home came through Heathrow which was in the middle of heavy snow falls. Tim was stuck on the plane for a long time, but his connecting flight to Nairobi wasn't cancelled so he made it home!
Almost immediately after getting back from his trip to the US Tim's work went on their annual retreat this time to a lodge in Tsavo National Park which was an 8 hour bus trip each way on some crazy roads....
This is where they stayed.
Elephants!
Elephants would come & drink the water from under the lodge.
End of January was Australia Day for us so we went to the Australian High Commission for their celebrations. Kids got face painted: Zoe as a zombie with flowers & dolphin on her arms, Zane a pirate zombie & Zara some Mike Tyson inspired tattoo.
Zara took part in an aerial acrobatics display they had on & received tickets to attend a show because of it.
Once we got home that afternoon, the kids played with their Angry Birds!
After less than 2 weeks of having her braids in, Zara decided to take them out.
