Alpacas!

At Nora's parents' house, her mom is raising alpacas. They have fabulous names, like Elvis and Tina Turner.


And one has an amazing snaggle tooth.


Nora, Synphany, and I tromp around the barn trying to get them to hum.


Did you know alpacas hum? They also spit, like camels.


And when you pet one your hand sinks about four inches into its coat.


Maybe I should raise alpacas!



It doesn't look too hard...


Aethena and Beignet (how on earth do you spell that?):

Nora and Syphany are thinking about moving back to this area. Oh I hope they do!
