Tristan turning 18 years old
Over the weekend, Ava went to summer camp and the rest of our family traveled to the friendly hills of Naivasha to celebrate Tristan's birthday. We had a wonderful restful weekend of playing games, cooking, and enjoying the beautiful forest with its chorus of birds and chattering monkeys.
We have celebrated many birthdays in Kenya over the years. It was very special to be back to Naivasha, one of our favourite parts of Kenya, for Tristan's 18th. As he goes off to University this August, we are cherishing these moments.
Here are a few pictures from our weekend and from Tristan's graduation.
Mahindu Farmhouse, Malu
Built in 1941 by the Cole family, the farmhouse is nestled in a secluded grove along the babbling Mahindu stream in the hills above Lake Naivasha. During our two-night stay, we had great fun around the old dining room table and hanging out together under the massive yellow acacia and giant podo trees in the yard.
