Picnic on Lake Mutanda---Ugandan Style

Here Michael is explaining to his new little friend that although they may share the drum, the sippy cup with the juice in it is His, just his (smile)


That's Sheba, in the green wig, with one of his beautiful daughters and two young men getting set up for some major drumming. What a good time was had by all!


- --------------------Michael is a two year old Ugandan Boy now and Drumming comes quite natural to him. How cute is he in his American sunsuit, water shoes and drumming like any Ugandan boy should.








-----Michael found more things to do with a drum than just drum. Climbing on one is fun too! I didn't take any photos of the goat on the spit, but goat, potato's, matoki and yummy fruit salad (Bananas, Pinapple and Mango) . A favorite memory is Michael and I sharing a bowl of fruit salad african style. At one point he actually fed me some fruit. He is the sweetest little boy ever!




-----Taking a canoe ride on Lake Mutanda----AH!






Not a great shot of either of us but you can see that we were both wearing American Flags on the front of our shirts. It was quite honestly , an accident. Maybe it was because I was flying across the Sea from Rwanda to Brussells to JFK on Independence Day.







-----This was Michael and my 4th of July Celebration--Ugandan style.







----------All this Beer and all I get is Juice!








--------What kind of beer do you want? Nile or Bell?









Michael is so much fun to be with. Even though they shaved his locks (they do that to all the kids, easier to care for) he is adorable!










When Michael first tasted the orange juice, he made a funny face because he is used to Passion Fruit Juice. But in no time at all ,he just couldn't get enough.







A Day with Michael is always special but today was a blast. Sheba , my friend and Tour Guide Supurb requested wearing the green wig Bill had brought me March 08 for St. Paddys Day. He spent the whole day in it, dancing and drumming. What a great party Sheba can put together. Actually, he is a party himself!
