Ruth: Our safari

Hi Ruth's back!!! - Finally!!!

Sos it's been soooo long guys!!! So little time, so much to type! Know what I mean?!? Well, anyway, back to business... So you've probably heard quite a lot of the stuff that's been going on around here recentally from mum and dad - not  the same, I know, I'm the legend round 'ere! But you know what we've been up to at least so lets crack on. Ok, so, we've just been on a three day safari and, well, IT WAS EPICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We saw I don't know hom mny different species of animal!!!!! And all of them were super cool here's a list of thoses I can remember at the mo:

• Loads of different species of antelope 
• Warthog 
• flamingo 
• hippo 
• rhino - they're super rare and guess how many we saw? - 4 - 4 out of 40 in the park - isn't  that just epic??!! And one of them was a baby too!!
• lions - we saw a male one super close up and I even got a video of it weeing on someone's car - 'll see if I can post that!!
• zebra 
• giraffe 
• elephants 
• leopards - they're really rare we were so lucky to see them - and so close as well, they were only about 10m away from us!!!
• monkeys 
• baboons - oh I've got a good story to tell about baboons!!

So we were sitting in the car waiting for our driver to come back from doing a couple of bits & bobs. He had just dashed back to close his window, so we thought it might be a good idea to close ours. Mum was on the case but then suddenly she started calling for me to look behind me. I thought there was something funny going on with the baboons behind us, but when I turned around I had the fright of my life. There, sitting in my window, less than 2cm away from my face, was a not exactly small baboon sitting there looking like it was about to jump on top of me at any moment. And the fact that mum had just been telling us all not to aggravate the baboons as they can be vicious and get ferocious about food, did not help either!! What happened next was extremely fast. I jumped out of my skin and started screaming (which probably thinking about it now wasn't the best thing to do). The baboon was milliseconds away from jumping into the car which would have caused absolute mayhem, tehn daddy lunged at it which made it jump back. Mum shut the window quickly and all was done. Except my heart kept beating at 100mph for at least 10mins after.

Right, actually think that's enough for today, catch up soon,

Ruth!!! :-) :-) ;-) ;-)
