Alpaca Farm

today the kids and i visited the Crystal Pines Alpaca Farm! my friend nita invited us to go with her and her son, jack, with their church...a "daycation" is what they called it! we all had a lot of fun, even if it was really hot!

i didn't even know what an alpaca was before we went, but they are really cute close relatives to llamas...and supposedly a lot nicer. i've never met a llama, but the alpaca we fed were super friendly. wyatt was too scared/shy to feed the alpaca but claire would have fed them all day long if the farmer would have let her! she loved it. of course, i wish i had pictures of this!! my camera was up with our lunch, so i have pictures of all the other animals on the alpaca farm, but none of the cute alpaca!!! i guess we'll just have to go back again! :)

here are the pictures i did take!

our friends jack and nita on the hay ride

the alpaca farmer telling us about his lawn mowers...i mean, goats!

farm pond with ducks and swans


wyatt with his favorite animal on the farm, the donkey :)

claire liked them too, they are such calm animals

now to the "barn yard" animals

giant bunnies! can't really tell how big they are by the picture, but they were big!

"nemo" the pig! claire really liked him!

claire tried to make friends with as many animals as she could...she must get this from her daddy or aunt ashley, definitely not me. i was so glad the farmer had hand sanitizer that he made everyone use as we left each area!

these were normal sized bunnies!
because my camera is soooooo delayed, i missed the bunny "kissing" her cheek! it was really cute.

like i said, claire liked nemo the pig. she was excited to see him walking around and get to pet him.

Hey Ali, Ashley told me you are expecting again! Congratulations! It looks like we both are due around the same time. My little girl is due on Feb. 6th. I hope you are feeling well and wish you a healthy rest of your pregnancy!
