Camel rides

  I just realized I never posted these fun shots.  First of all this is not the first camel ride for our kids, but it is the very first camel ride where there is grass!  Live here long enough and you understand the power of the color green...


Imp and eldest prepare for takeoff.  Honestly these creatures are tall and they sort of swoosh up in two movements as they stand. Thankfully this camel came equipped with a "safety belt" of sorts. =)





The operator even refused to let K-bug ride--apparently you have to be "this tall" to ride this ride.=)  We were shocked by his safety principles considering this is a land where kids practically ride hanging from their parents ears while they zoom past in speeding cars...but ok.








And what can be better than riding a camel with your brother or sister?  Riding one with your friend.  Eldest daughter and AG have a great time giggling and careening around the park.  What makes it even better is that we totally, randomly, ran into these dear friends at this park in a different country...I love God's timing. =)  Seeing friends, especially when least expected, is like a drink of cool water in a dusty land.








And it makes for some really good memories.  To G,J,AG,AJ  we love you guys, thanks for all the fun!
