trip to the farm

Yesterday the boys and I drove about a half hour outside of Nampula to the farm of some friends from Zimbabwe. We met up with friends (also with toddlers and pre-schoolers) for a "sports day." The boys had fun throwing balls around, jumping on a trampoline, and figuring out the obstacle course. Cohen, however, was most interested in the horses. He is typically a cautious boy and judging by the way he was initially hesitant to join in the fun with the other sports, I was so surprised by his enthusiasm for the horses. But he absolutely loved it!






It was so fun to be out of the city for a few hours--and to be in the "country" (or Africa's version of it) and to be near animals again. And it was especially fun to watch Cohen enjoy horses the way he did.

Cohen really does look at ease up there on that horse. Go get 'em, cowboy! I bet that won't be the first time you visit your friends at the farm.
Very fascinating countryside!
