There is really nothing like going into town with 5 sets of hands to accomplish what I usually do alone, or with Cary. Today, Tony picked us up at 9:30 and we were back at the home by noon, with a trunk full of maize flour, chapati flour, rice, beans, washing soap, bread, peanut butter, milk, new cups, 15 new pillows, 10kg of choma, a quick trip to the Maasai market, and a long queue at the bank. Eureka! What a pleasure it all was.
When we got to the home, the kids were sitting in the shade waiting for us. Carr and Kevin opened a bag of supplies: soccer balls, gloves, bats, balls, arts and crafts - you name it. It took about 20 minutes for the kids to warm up to their new friends:

I really don't know who had a better time today: the Cavender's or the kids. Between all the activities, everyone is sleeping well tonight. I am thinking about next August already, which I am sure is going to turn into a huge, adventurous trip. Spencer and Max? If you are reading this, put it on your calendars.
