MId-Term Break at Crescent Island



Mid-Term Break has come and gone. The students all left campus for a 5 day weekend to spend time with their families or their guardians here in Kenya. We were given 4 days off As there were professional development seminars on Friday so staff could keep up with their required educational needs.

We spent some of the time just resting and recuperating from the mad dash that was the first half of the first term. We did manage to take a trip t Lake Naivasha and explore Crescent Island. We were able to go hiking for about 3 hours. It was no ordinary hike ( and to this day Julia states it was not a hike!) there was wild life to be seen everywhere:




                                                                           Giraffes
                                                                     wildebeest

                                                             zebras (Julia’s favorites)

                                                                     water buffalo, 


                                                                     Impalas

And the list goes on and on. There are boats that will take you to hippo point but we decided to hold that for another day, maybe when Lizzy is here to visit.

We have posted the entire photo album on our photo gallery at www.mclavertyfamily.smugmug.com  feel free to look at all the pictures and enjoy!
