A friend of mine and her daughter (a formal Central pal of Em's) participated in a 4H activity last year called the Llamateer's. They invited us out a week or so ago to an open house at a llama farm in Minnesota City. I've always wanted to get Emily into something other than athletics....Girl Scouts, a music lesson, etc. So, after learning more about this group, I think we found our "other" thing! Emily had a lot of fun interacting with the llamas. Until spring, it sounds like the group meets once a month for an activity/craft llama related and next spring, the group goes out to a few different area llama farms and chooses a llama to work with for a few months with the intention to show it at the Winona County fair! Hopefully it will be a fun and educational experience for Emily. Here is Allie showing Em her llama that she worked with last year, Saber. They got to lead him up through the farm and back a few times.
Logan and his llama! Okay, giraffe.
