 Mike gets ready to go on an adventure |
 The balloon is inflated, and everyone is in it |
 Yes, yes, I know this is blurry, but it shows Mike & Deb in the balloon! |
 Up, up and away! |
 A beautiful sunrise as the balloon set off |
 A topi in the sunrise |
 Skimming the trees |
 Of zebras and planes |
 The balloon is just sailing along quietly |
 Deb and Mike - Happy Ballooners! They reported they had an awesome experience. |
 Gathering at the breakfast site |
 This is the most delicious breakfast - food does just taste better outside! |

 We found a young lioness laying on a mound - there were a few other lions lying in the grass, a pride of about 14-17 lions |
 23. A young lioness (Masai Mara) |
 A lioness climbs the tree to get away from the flies |
 'Well, I'm comfy' |
 The young lioness and the tree with the mom in it was not far from our truck |
 The Queen of the Savanah |
 "Ahhh, you are making me shy!" |
 The flies were out in force today |
 This one takes my breath away! |
 A young lion practices his roar |
 A young teenage male decides to escape the flies too |
 Mom says 'welcome, as long as you can find space' |
 "I'm comfy!" |
 Some more of the pride pop their heads up |
 Others in the pride (I think that's dad) just roll over |
 "Oh no, you have to be kidding!" as he looks down at the trunk of the tree..... |
 "I want up there too!" |
 "Any room here?" |
 "Nope, guess, I will go up a level" |
 24. This lion is really comfy! (Masai Mara) |
 Three lions in a tree |
 Another one gets up to see if the tree is all taken up (it was) |
 25. Drinking at the waterhole (Masai Mara) |
 Beautiful! |
 Laying peacefully by the pond |
