Kristell's 2nd Birthday!

Kristell turned 2 on July 27.  The following day we had her cake with the other missionaries in Ladybrand, South Africa.

She is very fascinated with horses and cows right now so she really liked the cake.

She tried over and over to blow out her candles, but didn't succeed.  I'm going to try to put a little video on the blog sometime soon.

When we all started singing to her, she dissolved into tears.  It was hilarious!

One of the gifts we gave her was this little Sotho broom. She really enjoys using it.

The previous day, Kristell's birthday, we were in Johannesberg after taking two interns back to the airport.  We took the girls to the zoo for a special treat. I think these are nyala, but I'm not sure.

Peering down to see the polar bear.  The zoo had a very nice selection of animals.

Loving the animals.  As you can see, the weather was beautiful in the afternoon.

I tried to get a picture of Kristell hiding from the monkeys, but I was too late.  I'm not sure why she's afraid of monkeys!
