"L" is for Llama Week

For our "L" study we enjoyed learning all about Llamas/Alpacas. The highlight of this study was taking the children to the Sweet Maple Alpaca Farm in Westminster, VT. Here are some pics of our trip!

Jackson loved feeding the Alpacas!

Mrs. Heidi was very nice and took her time to introduce us to her family of Alpacas. She also showed us all around the farm and did some fun projects with the children.

What a great time we all had there. We completed our visit with a trip to the gift shop were Mrs.Heidi gave each of the children maple candy, a coloring book, and a small stuffed animal. The children also had a fun time making soap from the alpaca wool.
