Camels!



We went along with all the farmers to visit a man's farm 30 minutes down the road where he and his family keep camels. They use them for different educational purposes like letting people ride them, doing tours and teaching about what camels are like. He takes one of his three children with him to Egypt every couple year to lead desert tours on some local camels over there to help bring in tourism money. We had so much fun petting them and brushing their fur! Camels are so big and friendly! Their family cooked us a big Mediterranean meal. All 15 of us sat in their living room and shared some hummus, chicken, rice, tabbouleh, etc. It was yummy! He is bringing a camel and a donkey to Farm Day, April 4th, if you want to ride one!



and of course Elliana found their kittens!



I'll post a little video of us and the camels next!
