Glebe camel safari

Scarlett was invited to a birthday party this week to celebrate the 6th birthday of her classmate Mirabelle. Mirabella's mum Karin owns Ruby Star Traders, a beautiful furniture store selling high end pieces from India. She makes frequent buying trips to India and her house is exquisitely furnished and decorated, including a grand piano in the sitting room. The theme for the party therefore was maharajas and maharanis. As well as inviting the whole class - which includes eight various loud, destructive boys - Karin also arranged for two camels to attend to take the kids for rides up and down the laneway at the back of their house.
It was quite an event, with a huge spread of food for the kids, including these beautifully decorated biscuits, a pair of indian slippers each for the girls and a turban each for the boys. This party has now set the benchmark for all other parties - no pressure!. What happened to a quick game of pass the parcel and a slice of cake to take home in a napkin?
