The two hours of driving led us around small mountains,
through several tea plantations,
and even past the "Pentagon". I've never been there before!
It was so much fun to watch the dads relax and play some sort of brutal-water-basket ball. 
For a time, this relegated the younger kids to the "kiddy" pool that looked equally fun.
Dara was delighted to still get to swim in the rain. 
When it was finally time to leave, we followed the Hollenbecks along the road near the actual Park. We didn't even have to go into the park to enjoy the wildlife (unlike the cartoons, these animals didn't seem to care about the 'boundaries' of the reserve). These monkeys were just sitting on the side of the road.
There were different types of antelope and a few wart hogs, but the pictures didn't come out worthy of sharing.As we went further down the road, we discovered this sign . It's definitely a first for us. We've seen "duck crossing" signs and "deer crossing" ones, but never a warning for"elephant charging".
It gave us a hope that we might get to see some elephants and sure enough...
As we got closer to them, this momma didn't appreciate our attention and flared her ears at us.
This one was on the other side of the road and didn't seem to mind posing for a few pictures.
It was a wonderful day of enjoying God's creation and the good friends He's given us here!
