If your mama's a llama, then you must be a....

CRIA!
This is one of the things we learned today on our little field trip to a llama farm a couple of miles from our house. The very friendly couple who owns them (there were about 60 llamas there today!) took us all around and taught us about the capabilities, history, thought patterns, and care of these curious and gentle animals.

According to the couple, it actually costs less to maintain a llama as a pet than it does a dog! I have to say, I'm very tempted to get a few of these creatures... they were very sweet.

And smart! The woman showed us how she's trained this one to do an obstacle course and perform tricks for shows they go to...

The kids all got to take turns shepherding a llama around...

....and Gee-Gee had plenty of opportunities to shepherd Milo around... It was a fun little excursion, practically in our backyard!
