Back to School

Sorry, I've kind of been slacking off on the posting for a few reasons. First of all, our internet has been down for a very long time, and secondly, I've just been swamped with homework now that we are back at school. Matt has moved up to the senior school, now that he is in 6th grade, and I'm now in high school, which has turned out just to be massive amounts of extra homework.
I was also talking to my friends back in the States, and they were just starting school as I was on about my 3rd week. Plus, they get off like 3 weeks before me as well in the summer. That sort of ticked me off.
Jack and JT are still doing well, and I will post again soon. Please comment on any ideas you have for what I should post, because I'm running out of ideas, and not many big things have happened in a while.

Sponsoring a Family

Just as we came back, we were assigned the duty of "sponsoring" a new family that is just moving to Uganda. One of my parents' good friends sponsored us, and it is very nice. Basically, the sponsor prepares your home for you, gives you some basic necesseties like toilet paper, soap, and a few days worth of food. They also pick you up at the airport when you land in Entebbe, and drive you to your new home. The people that we sponsored have been all over, so they have a much more interesting story than we do. It is a married couple with two boys. They are the ages of Matt and I.

Summer Break

This summer was fantastic! We got to see lots of friends and most of our family. The whole family wants to thank the all the people who were kind enough to let us stay at their houses for however long we decided to stay. We would have loved to see everyone more, but we had to come back to Uganda, which we now call "home". It was great to see all of the cousins, our aunts and uncles, and, of course, our loving grandparents. We hope to see a few of you soon... here in Uganda!
And for Matt and I, we really enjoyed our birthday presents! So thanks.

With all of the traveling around, Matt didn't want to bring his camera, in case he accidentally lost it (and you know how much of a space cadet he is...), so there's no pictures again.

Lake Nabugabo

Our most recent camping trip was to Lake Nabugabo, and was a nice change of pace. All of our other trips have been with many safaris and so many things to do that we didn't really relax enough. Here, the only thing that we needed to do besides swim in the fantastic lake, is cook, do dishes, and build a fire, which is actually kind of fun (the fire part). We went with many other people, but we had never camped with any of them before, and they turned out to be a lot of fun. This was a nice trip and I got a driving lesson, which was tons of fun.

AND WE'LL BE SEEING EVERYONE REALLY SOON WHEN WE COME BACK!

Crossing the Equator...Again

On our way to our most recent camping trip at Lake Nabugabo (a post is coming soon), the family crossed the Equator again. This is like our third time, but I never posted about it. It's kinda cool, and it's something that you'll never do in the states. It's too bad though that we have never bothered to stop and take a picture of us in the ring, so the picture below is the best I could do.
