Jewel the Camel Has One Hump!

I have one more post relating to our Labor Day adventure to the Drive-Thru Safari!  The last time we were there we didn't get to ride the camel, so this time we made sure to make time for it.  Originally, I was going to ride the camel with JM, but he wanted his dad to ride it with him!  Oh well!

Here they are waiting their turn.  I think JM was really excited!  I have come to realize that weekends are now strictly "dadin-time".  JM only wants to hold "Dadin hand" when we're out and about on the weekends.  And of course, he only wants to play "Dadin football" with Jordan.  Little boys love their dads for the guy stuff that they are learning to do!


We found out the camel's name is "Jewel" and John Michael is still talking about her!  He'll be talking and he'll say "bye, bye, Jewel!" and he now has a funny camel walk that he can do!  It's pretty spot-on because he walks on all-fours and hops up and down.  It's pretty cute!



He and Jordan had a really good time and made a fun memory in the process.  I mean, how often do you get to ride a camel?!  Pretty neat!



Have a happy Monday!  Matthew is developing an ear infection so we are hopefully going to get our prescription filled from the pediatrician we saw this morning and get him started on some antibiotics tonight!  Matthew has been sleeping through the night for most of the last week.  I'm not sure if he's going to always do this now, or if it was a lovely, wonderful side effect of the prescription allergy drops?!!  Either way, it feels so wonderful and refreshing to get an uninterrupted night's sleep.  Nothing like it!
