National Geographic – WildCam AFRICA

/ Rick

National Geographic Magazine – WildCam AFRICA: National Geographic has a great webcam set up on an African watering hole. It’s great for viewing all kinds of wildlife in the middle of the night from Denver. It’s only up through the end of October because when the rainy season comes the wildlife aren’t forced to the hole. Kind of reminds me of Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. I expect to hear a voice over from Marlon Perkins, in the safety of a Range Rover, sending Jim into the water to wrestle the crocodiles. The kids love it and it’s great for background viewing and listening. Thanks to Denise for sharing it with Margaret.

Sparklers, bigger circles
Sparlers, Spin Faster
Sparklers, Do it again
Sparklers, going solo

It’s the simple things in our lives that give us joy. Two kids, 3 and 4, discovering sparklers for the first time. Dain and Olivia were beyond happy, Hysterical with glee would be a better description.

Dain Fishing

Our newest endeavor and obsession is learning to fish. Dain has declared that we are going to eat the first fish that he catches. According to the Laws of Dain it will be just like Tuna Fish only more “Refreshing”.
