WOW!!! I don't know where to begin to write this blog. It is an indescribable feeling to finally have our whole Brown family back together again. We have all waited so long to be together at Suubi and now there is NO more sleeps to count............ We are all here!!! Yipppppppppeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
After a three hour delay the boys finally come through the door at Entebbe airport at about 5pm on Wednesday night. Lots of tears of happiness, many hugs and constant chattering flowed as we made our way out of the airport. There is so much to catch up on and four days later we still haven't even scratched the surface.
We spent Wednesday night in Kampala at David's house and then set off for Suubi after lunch on Thursday. When we finally pulled in, just on dusk, it was a sheer joy to watch as the boys toured around the centre with amazed looks on their faces. They are going to write a blog in a few days time so I won't even try to explain the feeling from their prospective.

Being all back together again after such a long time apart was definitely a yipppeee moment!
After a good nights rest Friday found us checking out everything again properly in the daylight. We chatted lots more over lunch about what we had all been up to and then we got one of the really important first jobs done..............cutting B's hair!!! Dustyn, Chad and Ryley had had theirs done at a barbers in Kampala the previous night but Brenton had been too attached to his. He hadn't had it cut for more than a year but he soon realised the heat in Uganda would be too much. It was a hilarious event and it really made me even more thankful that we were all back together again and laughing so hard. We have some fabulous photos.............none of which are appropriate to post but all are going straight to the Brown family album!!!! hahahaha!
Enjoying lunch together in the training hall at Suubi.
Josheph helped out with Brenton's haircut.
Saturday saw the serious work begin. A new path to the demonstration mushroom house began and scrapping, sanding and painting of the outside of the kitchen/storeroom got underway.
Ryley showed off his hot 'muzungu' body!
And higher!
It was lovely just to be able to sit back and relax and watch the boys hard at work!
B may be less hairy now but he sure is lot dirtier!
Ishmael and Joseph were thrilled to learn more about excel from Chad.
Six Browns at Suubi - yipppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeee!

Brenton swung a mean a pick while Dustyn ventured higher up the ladder.

As well as the physical work that has been going on Chad has helped out Ishmael and Joseph with some of the finer points of excel. This will help keep records of the mushroom project and other things happening at Suubi much easier. They were thrilled to have a patient teacher to teach them new skills.

And while the boys have been busy with all that, Browny has moved on to making new signs that will help make finding Suubi much easier for everyone.
Browny's fabulous new signs in progress.

I realise this has been a very brief overview of what has happened over the last few days.............hopefully the pictures will tell the story! I don't want to be stuck in front of the computer while we're all here together. Lots will be achieved while we are at Suubi together but best of all we plan to have lots of fun and laughs along the way!
Look out for the next blog which will be coming from one of the boys.
