We celebrated Jubilee's 1st Birthday Friday evening and let her 'dive' into her birthday cake - she was slow to start - but after she got a taste of the frosting...she soon had cake and frosting everywhere!!
No smile..but what a cutie...
Here Jubilee rode Grandma's goose...'giddy-up go'
The largest Alpaca farm in the country was
Here some young alpacas enjoy chasing after one another. Alpacas are gentle by nature and have a very strong herding instinct and need the companionship of other alpacas to thrive. Their fleece is sheared once a year and yields 5 to 10 pounds - but is sold by the ounce.It would appear that alpacas could be a good place to invest some $$$. The return on the investment could/can be very lucrative.
The 'mother' alpacas were very inquisitive about the visitors but they didn't get as close to us as their offspring.
The Plattner's enjoyed sitting on Mark's
Jesse was enjoying riding tandum with daredevil 'Mark'. Here they are sitting on the 4-Wheeler in the middle of Chippewa Creek. Our neighbor, Scott, allowed Mark to use his 'machine' too. Thanks Scott!!
Here Chad is driving through the waters with Javan & Jared. Hold on boys!!
LauraLee, Jolene and I watched the guys from the bridge and Jolene enjoyed throwing rocks into the water (while the boys weren't there, of course). Later a train came through and we watched in amazement the power and speed of the locomotive. All the children had to cover their ears it was so loud. It was a fun event - even though we had to prepare with a lot of bug spray - the mosquitos were looking for their supper :)
