yesterday we baked cookies with the nieghbors kids. it was so fun and wild. they are probably 6 and 8 or something like that, and in the process of making the cookies, those kids probably ate about a pund of cookie dough and 2 pounds of frosting before we even finished making the cookies. it was great. havnt been so dirty and sticky in a while.
the best part of having family and friends who are pilots is that if you want to go somewhere, you just have to get on a plane and go! today was a great example. we woke up and went to the airstrip and got on a tiny four person plane, piloted by eston himself. flew from nanyuki to nairobi, about 200 miles away i think, to meet up with randy for some lunch. we went to this amazing restaurant called carnivor, that was all you can eat, and just like the name sounds, it was a billion different kinds of meat. but not just the usual kinds of meat at all! they started out by giving us chicken and beef and pork, but then came the cool stuff: ostrach, camel, crockodile! oliver joseph harris lubin, and basically anyone else who knows me, should be very proud of me. i had everything. well except the chicken gizzards and the crockodile because randy and eston both said it was gross. then we got back in the airplane, this time i got to be copilot and took off heading back to nanyuki! the coolest part was when eston let me fly the plane...also some part of the plane broke while we were up there so we had to do some make shift landing without the wheels, etc. MOMMY I'M KIDDING! no but actually there was something wrong with the plane that made us keep going higher so i had the job of keeping the plane headed down while we were landing. it was cool.
now we are spending the evening with louisa and suzanne and randy. tomorrow we are giong back to school which will be fun. we have also just made plans for wednesday that lauren and i are going to accompany eston on one of his flights, as his "stweardesses," to some exotic place, and we get to fly in a helicopter... so super cool, i know!
im going now. love to everyone!

Sophie.... You have good company... When we travelled to Kenya several years ago, Sam and Louisa went wading into a little lake that was full of bird and other poops! Lo and behold Sam got a humongus thorn in his heel...... I almost killed him and had to dig it out. As I had absolutely nothing to clean the wound with, I used Peter's little flask of gin to do so... well Sam will never forget this one! He also did not forgive me for a long time but luckily he lived!!!
Your adventures are wonderful. Enjoy! Your Mom is spending the week end with us. Yesterday we went to the GGG festival and it was so much fun to spend time with the Humes and other music friends. Our love to the Whitfields. Tel Suzanne I will e-mail her soon too. Love, Malou
