On the last day of our trip, we went on a hike and Garrett stumbled into this spider home with a lid. Luckily, the spider wasn't home.
We also stumbled across a baby tortoise and its mom. Grant is holding the baby and Garrett is holding the mom. As you can see, we had a Masai guide lead the way, protecting us with the spear that he's holding.
Later in the day, we visited a Masai village. When we arrived, the entire village came out to greet us, singing and dancing. They grabbed our hands and we danced (basically jumping to the beat) with them.
They allowed us into one of their huts. As you can see, Charlie is taller than the hut and Grant and Garrett are not far behind. They also had handicrafts hanging on the outside of the hut which they make and try to sell in the larger towns.
This is one of the Masai women who liked to sing and dance. She made sure we were included at all times. Notice all the colorful garments and accessories.
One of the Masai children who was very happy to spend time with us and pose for the camera.
Garrett and Grant huddled together with the Masai children. They had a nice time getting to know each other despite the language and cultural differences. Our guide Bonny in the background.
Some of the Masai women taking a moment's rest from the dancing. The jewelry, especially the earrings, were fascinating to see.
Kim playing with the Masai children, with Grant and Garrett participating as well.
There was a hole in this tree all the way to the other side. Charlie is keeping an eye on the Masai kids, and they are keeping an eye on him. Grant is helping to keep an eye on everybody.
A beautiful, heart-felt smile from one of the kids as we were leaving. We cherished our time with her and everyone else in the village. They made us feel very welcome.
