'Paca Party!!!

Today we went to the Alpaca Breeders of the Rockies 12th Annual Fall Festival Alpaca Show !

Alpacas are members of the camelid family. They are mild-tempered, gregarious animals with an inquisitive nature!

Indigenous to South America, the alpaca is raised for its soft fleece.

Had we purchased House Number One we would have had enough land to own a few of these critters.

Heck, they require only modest amounts of food! They are very intelligent animals that respond to a variety of training and handling techniques.

And they sure are cute!

Here's Jeanne with a huacaya.

This one with the dreadlocks is known as a suri.

Not one of them spat at us! Hooray!
