Good Fences ~ Edition 132 ~

As I mentioned yesterday, this past weekend was... 


National Alpaca Farm Days

The hubs and I went on Sunday for a few hours and we I had a blast.
The family does an amazing job preparing the farm for this very special event,
and it is evident all around you that everyone enjoys it!


The fun starts right as you approach the farm!!


Under the tent...


there are free apples, snacks and shade...they also have free water and hot dogs with the works.


Lot's of beautiful hand made items are displayed.




And of course there are the stars of the event...The Alpaca.


This is baby Marlyse born just 2 days earlier.


These shelters, maybe 7 or 8, are all around the farm.








Getting a drink from the sprinkler.


Here I am with Dee, enjoying one of the Alpaca up close and personal.
And for the record, the little blonde girl, I did NOT push her hard to get her out of my way, 
hehehehe!


I love this truck!


The blurred fence...


There are fences everywhere but it is hard to take note of them 
with these sweet faces all around you. 
Aren't they just the most beautiful animals?
This is indeed my happy place!

Sharing today's fence images with my good friend

Hello Debbie!:) What a fun day out, and what delightful images of the Alpacas. The baby is adorable, but they all have such sweet faces, and I love their cuddly soft looking fleeces. I would be there every day, if I lived near the farm, which by the way looks spic and span, a credit to the owners who also show great hospitality.

I know you hate going there.

They do have some of the sweetest faces. That baby alpaca is adorable! I can't believe she's only two days old. And I would have pushed that kid out of the way too. ;-)

Such a fun day! I can imagine the owners have a lot of work to keep everything going.

I spotted a little purple bag. LOL

Your smile says it all :) Those alpacas are gorgeous and it must be wonderful to have a fluffy cuddle with them.
Looks like a brilliant day and such a lovely blue sky.
Little baby Marlyse looks so cute, two days old, amazing.

What a fun event. Those Alpacas just are so darling and cute. Awesome shots & I loved seeing you petting them as well. Also loved the shot of the one getting a drink from the sprinkler. Good fences and good times.
