Welldone Family Vacation

I feel that there is a need for a bit of explanation before going any further. My Ugandan family (the girls that I live with) has become known as the Welldones to our team and some of the other ex-patriots in Mbale. This comes from the fact, that many times, when people here don't know what to say next, they just say "well done". It doesn't matter whether or not you have done anything worthy of being told this. In fact, often you haven't done anything at all. Also, it is quite common for this to be said run together as if it were one word. Anyway, it became a funny joke to us and eventually it was adopted as our family name. So, without further ado, on to the Welldone Family Vacation!

Following our Team Retreat, my housemates and I embarked on a family vacation. We had a blast relaxing at the lake, making friends with wild animals, and playing with Kenyan children. Before leaving Sunrise Acres we took a family photo on the tire swing. The bear has a sweater on that says Well Done, so of course, he had to be in the picture too!
