Camels in the Desert!!!

We had another cool thing happen to us today. We just left a caching event and was going to find some nearby caches when we stopped to take some photos of some camels. This was the very first time since being here that we saw camels, besides seeing the one on the base at the Christmas tree lighting. Anyway, after taking a few photos of the camels from the other side of the cement wall we went to go look for a cache nearby. When we got back to the car, an older boy (looked about 18 years old) asked if we wanted to see the camels up close. Of course, we said yes and hopped in our car to drive through the other side of the wall. He not only showed us the camels up close, but put Tyler on the backs of a couple of them. The guy got on the back of one of the camels by hopping on it. Steve and I still can't believe the guy could just take one big hop like that up there. It was neat! Then he asked if we wanted to see the other animals on the farm. He showed us a donkey and put Tyler on the back of it. We also saw the goats (though he called them sheep) and some ducks and chickens. The boy was so kind to us and welcomed us to come back anytime. The locals are so friendly here. It was quite the experience we'll never forget. Here are more photos:
