Camels Pack for Family Vacation

Willard and Christine Basler, two Bactrian camels from Central Asia, are taking their daughter Shelly on a trip to New York City for her birthday, and the family couldn’t be more excited.

Tourist stops include the Empire State Building, Central Park and the American Girl Store.
