Back to School Bash!!!

Tonight we went to this beautiful home, (sorry the picture is TERRIBLE! Trust me, it is a beautiful home!) And had a "back to school bash" with our new Sunday School class!! There was a ton of people there, and their kids!! We were a little nervous about going, being new to the church and class, but we had sooo much fun!!! We met some new people and talked and got to know others! Wow! God is good!! There was swimming for the kids and homemade ice cream! Yum!! We are blessed with some wonderful families at our church and Dan and I look forward to growing our friendships with them!!!!
Anyway....this house is set in the country and there are all sorts of animals...like donkeys, llama, a long horn and .... two gorgeous, friendly CAMEL!!!

The story with the camel was that First Baptist church did a big Christmas presentation a few years ago and someone had leased these camels for the church to use, well it got too expensive so this family (where the party was) bought the camel so the church could use them. Wow! They have a huge amount of land so the camel just roam around and run with the cars as they pull into the road to the house!

You can see there is a cattle guard to keep the camel away from the house!

The camel were very soft and very friendly!

They loved Dan so much they wanted to go home with us and tried to get into the truck!!!!! ha ha!! Talk about Up close and personal!!!! We had a tree branch in the back of the truck they found and were snacking on as we pulled out!! TOO FUNNY!!!!

Dan had wanted to take a weekend trip out of town this last weekend before school, but I asked Dan if we could please stay in town and finally get to be a part of a party the SS class has! We are really glad we stayed! Sunday morning is promotion Sunday and another big fellowship time together! Can't wait!!! God is good, all the time.
