Alpacas!

Today we went to the Peak Ranch Alpaca Farm in Monument. Only half an hour away, this sweet family has this awesome ranch, and they have activities once a month in the summer for the public where they have some kind of demonstration and some kind of event. Today's demonstration was weaving, and the event was an ice cream social. Yum!

We had total blast. The girls literally bawled when we said it was time to go. Between the petting corral...

the ice cream...


the weaving...



(Great video of Abby catching on to the whole weaving thing really quickly.)




the trampoline...





(Fun video of the girls on the trampoline.)

the store (sorry, no picture of that, but you'll have to trust me that they've got a ton of awesome stuff), and, of course, the adorable alpacas...



(Super cute video of mamas and babies and the girls with their ice cream.)

it was a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. We will definitely be going back. They actually open the ranch every day to the public, so you don't even need to wait for an event to attend, that's just icing on the cake. (Or ice cream on the cone, if you will.)

(And forgive me for not embedding the videos--Blogger's embed function has sorta sucked lately--and not cutting them down--yes, a couple of them are sorta long, but it's a pain in the patootie to edit them.)
