A few pics

My husband downloaded all the pictures we took on his laptop, so I don't have many right now, but I thought I would give you a little sample of my experience. So here's the story: Mike's friend Sharif invited us about a year and half ago to go on a hunt in South Africa with he and his wife. We thought... sure, a year and a half is forever away. Well it came, and it came fast. I couldn't believe I was actually getting on a plane to go half way across the world to HUNT! The plan was that the first week was for the guys to go hunting and then we were flying to Cape Town for a week for some rest and relaxation. To my surprise, the favorite part of my trip was the first week! We would wake up in the morning, put on our camo and set out to find animals. It was so surreal. The landscape looked like home, but with cactus and then out of nowhere, we'd see zebra, wildabeasts, warthogs, monkeys, kudu, and on and on. It was truly amazing. Now for the non-hunters out there... sorry. The next pic is the Kudu Mike shot after we sat on a small fold up stool for 2 hours saying nothing at all and not moving. They are such a pretty animal.





This is a picture with the owner and our private hunting guides. We stayed at their lodge in the middle of nowhere and they were such nice people.







This is a picture in Cape Town. We took a cable car up to Table Mountain. The views were amazing!




I'll try to put a slideshow together today with a lot more pics (if I can figure it out).

I'm baaaaaaccccck!

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd do a quick post to say hello! I'm finally back from South Africa. We've been gone for 17 days! It was an amazing trip and I'll try to post some pics tomorrow. We figured out that we were traveling for a straight 36 hours to get home. It was CRAZY! Anyway, I can't wait to get back to blogging... I've missed it! :)
