So today we started the day with a camel ride on the 23K sand dunes that run across the coast out here in Port Stephens. It is the largest block of sand in the southern hemisphere. Stan had been on a camel before in Egypt but this was my first time...and the kids first time too! I was surprised Thomas was allowed to come but excited to get all five of us in a picture. We went for a quick ride over the dunes and on the way back the guide lead the camels up to the ocean and let them splash around. It was fun and Thomas was squealing most of the time. Mary shared a camel with Stan and when the caravan headed into the ocean she turned around and Stan said "I love you Mary" and Mary said, "I love you too, but I love this day with the camels the best!"
The family shot, Stan and Mary's camel was named Jasmine, and My camel was named Ruby!

Mary looks so beautiful in the picture where she says this day is the best! All of you look like you're having so much fun! What a great way to spend Christmas vacation-doing fun things with the people you love!
Oh and that's crazy you were bit by the shark! That's Christian's biggest fear...and you survived!!
WOW! What a beautiful family, and what wonderful memories you are making. As we have said so many times before, but it is worth repeating: we love checking out your blog and seeing what you are up to. LOL
