This is a dirt filled creek that used to attract birds and wildlife up close to the nature sanctuary. We are hoping to get this cleaned out and flowing again.





We signed our work...


The final piece

Painting at the Sanctuary

In the Lilongwe Nature Sanctuary we have started painting one of the walls...

This is the spot. I am showing the heighth of the elephant, well sort of.


We started by painting the wall the color the rest will eventually be.


Brayn painted Shawna's nose so its time for revenge!


Look we found a ladder! Great now we can paint the elephants head!


So this was the quickest idea to get the pics on the wall... Wonderful things projecters.


So you can't really see it but at the end of day two we had the whole thing sketched.


The third day went so fast! Look you can tell what it will be!








The end of day three and three animals mostly done...


Shawna found the hand on section...
Look at that jaw! It was a hippos, but it looks good for Shawna!


Nice face...


Look out! Don't worry Mom it was only a flesh wound.


This is the elephant skull and Shawna has her head in the ear socket.


Today we painted more...


This is where we are at... hopefully one more day to finnish the buffalo and hyena then maybe do some touch ups... What do you think? We wanted life size so people who have never seen them close up can get an idea of size.

More counting and birthdays!

We walked all across the park, litarally. Here is what we saw...

Male Waterbuck


Elephants


One day the trek was across an expance like this


We awoke a very very old bishpig from his sleep


Keahs footprint inside an elephants


A rotting croc


Look at the different shapes of these trees!


Patrick, Bryan and Shawna


Look what the elephants have done to this trees trunk.


Shawna thinks this is just Crappy but Bryan seems to like it.


One day they drove us two hours through then outside and around the park through the villages...


See village


Look at this huge baobob and fig tree! Can you find Shawna and Keah?


Here we are... inside the tree, it is huge inside!


The last day we walked on the side of the river where we live, the vegitation was different alot more of it and green too!
