Field Trip to Al Sahra (sneak peak)

As I hope your darling already conveyed to you, we had a truly fantastic field trip out to the desert last Wednesday! Though the day started off foggy and ended in thunderstorms (including hail!!), we were blessed with the very best weather the day had to offer, thankfully. 

I had intentions to edit and share all 247 photos sometime this weekend, but it was such a lovely and full one that I will only be able to post a few now.  

Stay tuned as more are coming soon! 

Posing for a picture is never a problem for this bunch. It started with just Macy and Taylor, then all the rest came running! 

The Arabian horse is exceptionally fast and so beautiful, too! 

Smiles all around! 

Lyn was fearless when it came to giving the horse a kiss, while others shrieked and had to muster the courage. It's easy to see that she's very comfortable around horses, which made her a great example to the others who were nervous.  

The date palm oasis provided shade and a place to drink camel milk. 

We saw many wild gazelles roaming the property while we were there. They were just lovely to see and a great reason to ask the children to be especially quiet. ha, ha. :) 

Learning all about the camel's unique adaptations was great hands-on fun!
