This week for play group we visited an alpaca ranch. It was such an educational and fun trip! The kids were able to go in the pens and get up close feeding them and feeling their coat.
This baby was born on Sunday! It was born 10 days early so we were lucky to get to see such a little baby. Their fall heard should start being born soon.
I love this picture of both our hands.
Faith & Wyatt work together to feed an alpaca.
Faith was timid at first but warmed right up.
When Grace ran out of feed she simply took some hay from the trough and made her own snack.
This is one of the male alpaca's that isn't used for breeding. They are "pets" and only worth about $500 compared to a breeding male which can be up to $40,000 with a good blood line.
Checking out the store full of products made from Alpaca hair.
We purchased this little Alpaca finger puppet from Peru as a keepsake from our field trip.
We finished up with a picnic at a pavilion near their pond. Even though it was a bit cold and damp it was a great way to end our trip.
