Llama Fun Day in Midway, UT

Llama llama in the sun.
Walks with kids and has some fun.

Now she needs a bite to eat.

Here - I'll share a llama treat.

Llama fiber - very cool!

Whatever you do, don't call it wool.

Clean it up, then spin it tight.

Knit a llama sweater tonight.

Llama practices for a show.

Cat will show him where to go.

Then the kids will follow too.

So many things for them to do!

Jack leads the llama to the top,

Then down the stairs, where he'll stop.

Here's Mama Llama with her llama

She's a best in show winner.

How proud is Mama?

Naturally pretty and soft llama goods

We'd love to buy - we wish we could.

Now the kids make llama felt

Should we use it for a llama belt?

Then one more adventure before we go

A horseback ride for Cat and her bro.

We're a little sad when the day is done.
It really was full of Llama Fun!

On our drive home from Llama Fun Day we all named some things that we learned.  Here are a few...

• Llamas don't spit at people
• Llamas are very clean - in fact, they only use a designated poop pile
• They make great pack animals and travel well up mountains
• Their "treats" are alfalfa pellets
• Their fiber is not wool, only sheep have wool.  Also, their fiber is 5+ times warmer than wool because it has tiny insulating pockets that trap air.  And it's SUPER soft and not scratchy at all.

Also, if you don't know why I wrote this post in meter the way I did, you really need to check out the Llama Llama books by Anna Dewdney.  They're pretty cute.
