Rob went hunting with Huntershill Safaris while Steve rode along and was his photographer. He got this nice Blesbuck. I think it's classified as an antelope over here in South Africa. Meanwhile, Nicole, Brynna, Angelina Schmidt & I had fun going on some game drives. We saw many different wild animals like zebra, rhinos, giraffes, warthogs, cape buffalo, hippo, lions, and several different antelope.

I just noticed that you said that Steve was the photographer.. Now that cause some concern from me... As I remember a time when Steve was the photographer in a ride called the Parachute drop at the Worlds Fair in Vancouver, BC and he and I took the ride together, and he said he was going to get some really good pictures of the drop... so we went up... up ... up. and then the drop, and I heard his camera go Click, Click, Click.. Click,, and then we got to the bottom and we stepped out and he said "Yep, I got some great ones" and I looked down at his camera and the lens cap was still on the camera...!!!!! So hope he remembered the lens cap....

Hi Sid & Deanna, Obviously since you can see the picture, Steve did have the lens cap off this time!!!You have to be really quick here because the game down here doesn't wait around for a second chance!!!

Rob said that you guys need to come back down together and go hunting, if there's anything left!!!

We're thinking of you slopping around in the mud down in Lebannon while we are in 100 degree plus weather.

Let's get together when we get home. Maybe you guys could come over for Special Mtg.

Hope you all have a nice Christmas and New Year.

Rob and Martine:)

Hi Margo! Surprised to see you on here...enjoyed hearing about "Taylerisms" in the newsletter. What a little cutie!!! Grandchildren are the GREATEST!!!

It's been hectic going thru mail, etc. after being gone for a month, plus it's Union Mtg. this Sun. so have lots to do...

I intend to post more pictures soon, (hopefully, when things slow down a bit) because we saw a ton more cool places and met lots of great people...
