Fascinating Camels

Here are Great Grandpa & Grandma Holton when they rode camels in Egypt. (1982) I just know they are tickled that 32 years later their great grandchildren are enjoying a similar experience.

Zane: "Why is that guy walking them? Why is he dressed like that?"

Mom: "They're not at the zoo. They are in a land where camels walk around town. And that is how people dress in that land."

Zane: "Are we going to go there tomorrow? Tomorrow evening, huh? I want to go there tomorrow."

Vanessa rode Lippy.

Daddy and Zane rode Mr. Bigs.

They all agreed that it was a bumpy ride. Great Grandma and Grandpa must have been extra brave to ride the camels without the metal harness.

Why do some camels have one hump and others have two humps? The camels at the zoo have one hump. Check out the answer here.

And what's up with a camel's knees? Check out this guy's observations here.
