Making her daddy proud!

Springtime!!!

It has slowly been warming up and we had a wonderful treat of really "warm" Kenyan weather the last two days. Here are some pics of Avery enjoy the warmer weather and wearing shorts! She had the cutest little dance walk when we first got outside and she was getting use to her shorts!
Disclaimer: The pic of Baba and Avery was a staged shot, she did not go on the piki piki with him. :)

Safari Avery!

After many attempts of trying to get a good shot of Avery in the adorable safari hat Nana gave her I had about given up. Then one evening she comes into the kitchen after putting the hat on herself!

Jolly Roger!

We had some friends who live in Sudan come out to Kenya to give birth to their second child. Their first, Samuel, is about Avery's age so we enjoy getting together and letting the kids play. We were able to spend a wonderful and warmer than usual Saturday at a place called the Jolly Roger. It was a great find! This place had a pool, bounce houses, even a bouncy water slide, tons of toys for the kids to play with, face painting, you name it! Here are some pics of Avery enjoying the bouncy houses!

Peek a boo...

Avery loves to play peek a boo with the camera. It is adorable but it makes it hard to capture her doing something else because when she sees the camera it usually ends up with shots like these. :)

Games, games and more games...

Avery has really enjoyed the green space to run around in here at the SIM Kenya compound. There have been more kids than normal these last few months which has been wonderful too. It has been fun to see her learn new games and have her imagination sparked all because of finally having little friends to play with right outside her door. Right now she is running around me and roaring saying that she is a dinosaur. It makes me smile when she and other little kids play hide and go seek with their own rules. The counter usually keeps their eyes open and the hiders usually come out of hiding and announce where they are. Ring around the rosie is another popular game and I personally enjoy having others to play it endlessly with Avery since I get pretty dizzy after a few turns. Simon says and duck, duck, goose are other hilarious games to watch them play!
