Keely – what I love most about your posts is how you group your photos to tell a story. How you find a theme through color and group those together. How you capture images that say so much more than words could possibly say.

This is the second set of pictures and I just want to say you are an amazing photographer. Wish you were closer I would hire you to take pics of my grand daughters. God Bless you as you continue to be Gods Hands and feet. PEACE!

The girl with the baby picture is sooooo cute. Love it. I read all the posts, then looked at your pictures and it was amazing! Stephen is like a puddle of tears. Wondering if this is always how he is…
Blessed to be on this end reading along.

We left Nashville and headed to Detroit to meet up with our other bloggers. . .
I twittered out this pic thinking this was the next Origin / Destination part of our journey but. . . .
We sat on the runway for almost 3 hours in Detroit and by the time we left we knew we would be arriving in Amsterdam but we would miss our flight to Kilimanjaro.
{ this is where the AWESOME travel team at Compassion comes to the rescue!. . . Thank you CONNIE}
As we flew they worked Oh So Hard rebooking us!!
As we took off before I fell asleep I couldnt get over how the moon looked!
I thought the moon looked bigger last night come to find out tonight it will be the biggest it will be all year. SUPERMOON night!
So it was practicing last night.
If only the iphone could show the craters. Cause I promise you could see ‘em. That extra 30,000 ft in the air helps with that.
When we arrived we switched our tickets and prepared for a day at the Amsterdam airport. . .
And Take Note of this change. . .
We are now leaving Amsterdam tonight
Flying to NAIROBI
then to Kilimanjaro!!
Our Bloggers are TROOOOOOPERS!!
Nothing like starting a trip with a lil adventure!!
Photos via VSCO cam app. I like it!
