The Rest of Our Christmas Day -- By Meg

Well lets just say that we have had the most unusual Christmas Day we have ever had!!! After opening our gifts we hopped in the car and started driving towards the Elephant Sanctuary for Emma, Lilly, and Grandma to ride, walk and brush the elephants. But when we were about 2.2 km/1 or 2 miles from the Elephant Sanctuary road our car quit. Dad tried to crank it, but it wouldn't budge!! So he said for everyone to get out and start walking. So that is what we did! It was so hot, but we all did very good. Mom called the place and asked if they would wait for us and they said they would so that was good. But when the GPS said that we were 2.2 km from the Elephant Sanctuary it meant that we also had to walk another 2 km on a dirt road to get to it. It was a long walk, but we made it!! 
And we were in the sun most of the way. 

Getting ready to walk...
Walking....Way to go Grandma!!
We thought we were almost there....but we weren't!! 
You are so beautiful!!!
The road to the Elephant Sanctuary!!
Oh, we are missing some people!!
*Look at the next blog post for there fun time riding, walking, and brush the elephants!!*

While the others were with the elephants, Mom, Sheldon, Granddad, Dad, and me waited and called some people to come and tow our car. As soon as Emma, Lilly and Grandma got back we went and got in a tiny truck. But, E and L rode in the back of it!! We are in Africa!!

Getting ready to go home!!

 It was a very interesting Christmas!!!
Keep look at the blog for more Christmas fun!

Hugs,
Meg
