Church at our house!
Hey guys!! This Sunday was a special one, because the whole church came to our house! It was awesome! We sat on camping chairs or on blankets, sang some songs, and daddy preached! It was really fun! Before the service all the kids played American Bulldog, and one time, when dad was it, I was the last one to be caught, so I was it. There was a very close call. Many people were stuck in the middle, not to far apart. There was no other way but between them, so I ran full speed thew them, and I just made it! After the service, we had some snacks, and then the kids played a game of Capture the Flag! Boys against girls. We tied. Well, it was a crazy Sunday! But fun!

free ride! Not the safest way, but cheap!

The third picture is a picture of a mini bus. People cram into these buses,
and I mean cram! You can't go a day without seeing one!

5. Mwape! He is always there to open our gate when we get home!
Well, that's a summary! Catch more later!
Before...
year that I would get my braces off the coming month. Well, it never
happened. And last month, they told me the same about this month. Why did
I believe them? Because... I don't know! But I did! And here I am,
before and after!

Livingstone story Day 2 part 5
After our relaxation, we got ready for our high tea on Livingstone Island. I was really excited, because I had never been to a high tea before. Now is when you should look up Livingstone Island, because it will take way to long to explain to you where and what it is. So we went to the Royal Livingstone hotel, and seriously, only the royal stay there! It is $400 per night! And VERY fancy! Any way, so we were going to take a boat to Livingstone Island. So we got in the boat and started speeding full speed towards the edge of the falls. Livingstone Island is right on the edge of the falls. It is the place David Livingstone went to first look over the edge of the falls. The Zambian person in the boat with us asked the driver, " What if the motor failed?" Then every one was like," Ya!"
"Well," he said,"we would all go over the falls."
And he said it true enough! The current would have pulled us right over the edge.
"But," he said," That would never happen!" Ya right! Any way, we made it safely. They have not civilized this place at all, except for making paths and making a small loo and putting up a couple tents, which we were to have our high tea in. And not only did we get high tea, but a tour of Livingstone Island. And because the falls are in full spray, the ground is really wet and muddy, so we had to go on our tour bare foot! HEEHEE! It was fun! So we sloshed through mud while the guide gave us a tour. The awesome part was, that there are these rocks extending to the very edge of the falls, so you could walk on the rocks and look over the edge! And two of the guys hold your arms and you can lean over the edge! REALLY COOL! And guess what! We had to wear these really this rain coats, because the falls was in full spray. And mom didn't go with out getting wet by the falls after all! Her rain coat didn't fit, so she got SOAKED! Even in the middle of the island, you could feel the water! And the guide had to shout it was so loud. I forgot to bring a coat, so I was freezing! So since our feet were so muddy, they actually washed our feet for us! With hot water, and they dried them! So I put back on my shoes, and I sat down in the tent. And as I said before, I was FREEZING! So for a while, I was using a napkin. But then the very kind guide brought be a towel, and I wrapped that around my shoulders. Then I was warm. For high tea we had little pies, scones, sandwiches, brownies, cream puffs. YUMMY!

Part 3 Day 2 Trip to Livingstone
Part 3- day 2:
Well, I have to admitt, i was kind of hopeing that we wouldn't have
any more adventures How lame, right? Any way, it was cold seasom in
Zambia, and in the mornigns, it is cold! I got out of bed, and I
nearly froze!( I like to exgagerate.) But it was freezing. We were
planning a trip to Vic falls, a high tea at Livingstone Island(if you
dont know where that is, look it up! It will help you appreciate what
I will say later. So some how we managed to get dressed, and bundle
up, and go to the Lodge Resturant for a buffet breakfast. It was
yummy! So we got a taxi to Vic falls! To me, it is the best time to
visit, because that is when the spry is hardest, and there is this
tiny bridge, and it is so slippery,and when you walk across it, you
get soaked to the skin!( Mom wore a poncho, but what is the point of
going to Vic Falls in the heaviest season, and not get wet? Any one
agree with me?) I didn't wear a poncho, and I got soaked! it was
awesome! Afterward, we went to the market before the gates of
entering Vic Falls. They have so many cool crafts and things! It is
awesome! And the coolest thing is that they accept american dollars
which is great because I had a few! I got a gold snake shaped ring.
it is so pretty! We got back to our ladge, and relaxed.
