Flamingos and Wildlife at Lake Nakuru National Park...
















This past weekend we ventured to Lake Nakuru National Park to see more animals and were treated to up-close encounters with white rhino, a few lions, tonnes of baboons and vervet monkeys, water buffalo and lots of birds. Several monkeys really wanted into our car to get at our snacks and, right at the end of the day, one was successful. Brian turned his back for a minute while the front passenger door was open - that was all the opportunity this monkey needed. It leapt into the front seat, looked into the backseat where Hannah and Cora were shrieking, and grabbed a bag of dried apricots. It then climbed a nearby tree and opened up the bag to thoroughly enjoy our food. Very funny. It was a spectacular day!
