October 2013

We purchased the photos from our balloon pilot when we rode the hot air balloon in Kenya. I just got these photos from the cd of our friend, so I though I would share a couple more of our ride through the air!

this is us laying on our backs getting ready for the balloon to take off :)

our super fun group after the ride



everyone excited that we made it safely!

On the 30th of October, I attended a baby shower for our friend Andi that left in early November to head back to the states and have her baby. Like many others here, she was doing the nursery in animals and the girls did such a great job of decorating for this fun event!!

 The week after we got back from our trip was Halloween. Since it was a weekday, and no one had great plans, I decided to have the group over to celebrate. It gave me the opportunity to make some yummy treats from pinterest and just do everything in orange :)
