What could be more fun than taking 32 kindergarten and first graders on a field trip? Doing it during a rainstorm, of course. Really it had been pouring since 10 pm the night before and after 6 + months of no rain that really made a mess of the roads. The classes are learning about different types of houses, so the goal was to go visit some different ones (including an orphanage) and compare them to the places that we live. It really was a great plan.
Still need to watch out for the local maasai who need to take their cows out, rain or shine.
Oops! Then I had to go get stuck in the mud. I even had it in four wheel drive. This pic isn’t actually of me getting stuck, but this is where we realized that we had a punctured tire. Perfect spot to try and change that front tire, don’t ya think?
Baba Eyal was a savior and not only drove the car out from where it was stuck, but was also the main one to help me change the tire. He was still relatively clean at this point. 
We never did make it to the orphanage.The good news is that it did stop raining and the kids still had a great time.
Chelsea reminding the kids to ‘make good choices’ about where to walk (i.e. not walking through every available mud puddle)
“How is this house the same as/different than yours?”
“How is this bathroom different than the one that you use?”

And, Matt, this is for you. This is what happens to your son when he is left with only strong female influences.
What a neat field trip for the girls. Wow, such sociocultural girls you have!
