I (Lesa) turned 35. Ugh. Enough about that. And Robbie turned 10. It’s hard to believe that weíre old enough to have a 10 year old, but I guess based on the fact that I just turned 35, we are. Anyway, Andy and Robbie had a “man-venture” for Robbie’s birthday, and if you would like to read about their harrowing escape from death from a wild animal and their war with a baboon over sausage, click here.

I would have needed new laundry after the water buffalo, and would not have slept a wink. Bears in Alaska kept us on our toes, but this sounds much much more sketchy. Robbies is pretty brave too - when it circled around and he was at the campfire by himself he showed good courage. What a great man-weekend and I am glad nobody got seriously killed. You are a nut!
