Safari Monday



Monday was a Zambian holiday.  So, Kerri and I decided to take the kids to a Safari about 30 minutes from town.  The name of the place we went was Protea.  The kids really enjoyed the trip.  They got to crawl into the cage where they kept one of the male lions.  We were literally 2 feet away from a fully grown African lion.  Of course, there was a nice steel gate between us and the lion, but it truly was a memorable experience.  In fact, when the lion saw Maddie, he perked up a little as if he were about to get a snack.  Anyways, here are some of the pictures from our trip.
