In April of this year, we were able to go to an alpaca farm with some fellow homeschoolers and family, too. Gran was able to go with us, and we met our cousins Seth, Sara, Scott and their mom Pam there. We had lunch first, and then we were off to see the alpacas. We learned about the animals and got to feed them. We were told stories of how intelligent these animals are. We learned how they are shorn and were shown how their 'fiber' as it is called, is combed, spun, and made into yarn. We also were able to make our own craft with alpaca yarn, and see lots of neat things that had been made from alpaca yarn. We also learned that they like to spit! We all got to pet them, although I only petted through a fence, but the girls got to get in the pen with them.
