The A-List & B-List of Animals

Lydia "We started making this list a few days into our trip just to help us remember what we saw. We didn’t think that it would end up to be pages and pages of animals. Pretty soon everyone joined in adding to the list. At first it seemed silly to make a list, and we got a lot of ribbing from everyone, but it was a good thing we did, because who would have thought the list would turn out to be as long as it did. We never would have remembered all these animals!! We jokingly started with an A-List and B-List of animals, but pretty soon it was too difficult to make the distinction? Does it matter??? It’s all good – it’s all wonderful!!!!" We will always have a picture of Lyd on this safari with the pen and the notepad in her hand. Lydia gathered almost all the pictures of these animals and transcribed the notepads. Here is the link to pictures of the animals on our lists.
