More pictures from the Alpaca Farm!!

Rain man loved giving everyone kisses. Because he's "too friendly", he had to become a gelding--if he hadn't, he would have died of loneliness. Because he was a male, when he became mature, he was too aggressive. Now that he's a gelding, he can hang out with another male and not be aggressive! yay for that! :o)

Here's all of us (except mom) getting kisses.

We LOVE Alpacas!!!

The Humming Pines Alpaca Ranch was WONDERFUL today!! We learned so much about alpacas, bought beautiful yarn, and made a new friend in Michelle! Her animals were friendly and gorgeous! And the yarn is softer than anything I've had so far!

Check them out at www.hummingpinesalpacas.com

The pictures are:
Rain Man (black) and his awesome bottom teeth--alpacas don't have upper teeth and they are vulnerable to predators, so Michelle and her husband have a special dog and double fences to keep them safe!
Rain Man and Sirroco: they hang out together--alpacas can actually DIE from loneliness, so you always need two! Who knew???

We had a wonderful weekend adventure!! Can't wait till the next!

May Field Trip!!!

I've attached the link to our field trip in Oakland next weekend! We'll head out Friday night, go to the city-wide yard sale Saturday morning, lunch at Tolly's Restaurant, and then to the alpaca farm!! Yarn is $15 for 170 yd skein or 3 for $30!!! I can't wait!!!

Chemo Caps!!

I'm walking in my third Relay For Life with Team Salon 124 in June! If you would like to help make some chemo caps, I've attached a link for you to find patterns. The Salon asked that I make some to sell at their tent, so I'm getting on it! :o)
