Brave Kaia

Directions to play date (modified just enough to not infringe on their privacy :)

Head out of town and through the next 3 village.  1km after the last village turn right opposite the petrol station on a dirt road.  Follow this dirt road for 9km, passing lots of bomas (maasai houses), a school, a murram pit, under an electricity line, and over 2 small culverts.  Carry on the road down the hill and pass over another large culvert.  After last culvert take the track to the left in front of a maasai boma and follow this track past a water tap on your left and it will head right and lead down to the farm.

Keeping in mind that it isn't so much a road as it is car tracks in the middle of the dry dusty Savannah these directions are crazy!!  This is my 3rd time out to the house but the first time I have had the courage to go alone (guideless).  I did panic in the middle and tried to call for help but there was no network.  On my own in the middle of nowhere I foraged ahead and made it.  Totally worth it.

They have a lovely old horse that is great with children.  Kaia has been excited to go for weeks until last week when I accidentally mentioned she would be on the horse by herself (without me).  She flat out refused to go on the horse and didn't even want to go to the house.

Well the horse is the most gentle being and Kaia really likes our host.  As soon as she saw Theo on the horse she tossed all her fears to the wind and couldn't wait to get in the saddle.

 The house itself is beautiful.  Built by her husband it is insulated by hay in the walls and wine bottles in the floor.  Very open plan with a beautiful view over the Savannah.

 Kaia was SO proud of herself for getting on that horse!!!

Theo DEFINITELY wanted to ride him too but was very quiet throughout the entire ride.  Same as last time.  The riding cap is too cute.

Kaia even walked him back to the stable.

I am still working on a British Accent Video.  The boy we visited is in her class and may actually be the source of the accent.  I have one video that Carl says is good but I think I can do better.
