The Beautiful Ngong Hills

This weekend, to celebrate the end of of kid's Christmas break, we took them for a night away in the beautiful Ngong Hills. Here are a few shots from our getaway!

We stayed in their incredible family cottage called the

Erica in our tree house getaway

Yesterday afternoon, Erica and I headed for Karen, on the western side of Nairobi at the foot of the Ngong Hills. As our kids finish school this Friday, we took a night away to have some quiet time during our vacation. Friends from our church recommend Ngong House as the perfect getaway, and we were not disappointed! It was a "Swiss Family Robinson" experience as we stayed in the beautiful rustic tree house with thatched roof and stunning little details.

A long way down!

We are having a great rest together and appreciate

the chance to have a night away -- No matter how long

we live in Africa, there are some things that continually

give thanks for especially the wild spaces!

Erica and I also had a lot of fun playing with the

filters on our camera -- lov'n the vintage look!
