PICTURES OF THE AREA I LIVE IN

I FINALLY GOT OUT AND REMEMBER TO TAKE THE CAMERA WITH ME. SO HERE ARE SOME SHOTS OF PA! THESE WERE TAKEN ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE ALPACA FARM...

THIS IS THE DAIRY FARM DOWN THE ROAD FROM ME.

THIS IS THE HILL PAST THE DAIRY FARM THAT LEADS TO MY HOUSE. TRY DRIVING UP THIS IN SNOW! UGH!

AND THIS IS MY HOUSE FROM THE ROAD.


THE MALL, JUST PARTS OF THE FRONT.. IT GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND AND HAS A HUGE MOVIE THEATHER AND STUFF ON ALL SIDES.

WALMART IS ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FROM THE MALL... AND THERES DENNYS!!! WHOOOOO HOOOO! THERE IS ALSO A FRIENDLYS, TACO BELL, AND APPLEBEES ALL IN THAT ROW BY DENNYS.

ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE ALPACA'S... WAY OFF THE ROAD IS AN AMISH DAIRY FARM.

THESE ARE SHOTS OF PARTS OF THE TOWN. I DONT LIVE IN THE TOWN, BUT ITS CUTE!

WE WENT TO SEE ALPACAS TODAY!!!

I TOOK MY KIDS TO SEE ALPACA'S TODAY AND WOW, THEY ARE TRULY AMAZING ANIMALS! I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN ALPACA UNTIL MY MOM MOVED TO PA, BUT I NEVER SAW ONE UNTIL TODAY! THEY ARE FROM PERU & CHILI AND ARE OBVIOUSLY FROM THE LLAMA FAMILY. THEY ARE MUCH SMALLER AND GENTLER THAN A LLAMA. THEY ARE NO TALLER THAN THE AVERAGE SIZED PERSON. THE ALPHA MALE WAS A LITTLE TALLER THAN ME, AND I AM 5'5. THEY ARE HERD ANIMALS AND WILL DIE OF A BROKEN HEART IF ALONE! ISN'T THAT SWEET! I KNOW HOW THEY FEEL, I HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND FOR A YEAR AND A HALF AND KNOW A BROKEN HEART. THEY ARE VERY SMART ANIMALS AND EVEN KNOW THEIR NAMES, JUST LIKE DOGS. THEY FOLLOW EACH OTHER AROUND, LIKE HOW GIRLS MUST TRAVEL IN PACKS TO THE BATHROOM, ALPACA'S ARE THE SAME WAY. THEY DO NOT LIKE THE HEAT, BUT LOVE THE COLD. THEY ARE SHEARED ONCE A YEAR AND EACH ALPACA MAKES ABOUT 10 ADULT SIZE SWEATERS EACH SHEARING. THEY ARE GOING TO BE THE NEW WOOL/SHEEP INDUSTRY ONE DAY, AS THEY ARE EASIER TO CARE FOR THEN SHEEP, ARE LESS PRONE TO DISEASE, DO LESS DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT, AND SO ON. THEY LIKE TO GIVE KISSES, AND DONT BITE, AS THEY ONLY HAVE BOTTOM TEETH AND USE THEM AS SCOOPS WHEN YOU HAND FEED THEM. THEY ALMOST HAVE A BUNNY FACE/MOUTH. THEY DO SPIT, BUT USUALLY AT EACH OTHER OVER FOOD OR IF YOU HOLD THEM DOWN AND THEY GET UPSET. OTHER THAN THAT, THEY MAKE GREAT PETS! THEY ARE FAIRLY INEXPENSIVE TO PURCHASE... MALES START AT AROUND 500.00 EACH AND FEMALES AT 3000.00 AND UP. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE ALPACA, YOU MUST FIND OUT IF THERE ARE ANY IN YOUR AREA AND GO AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM. THEY HAVE GREAT PERSONALITIES... THEY MADE US LAUGH WITH THEIR SILLY WAYS! SO GO VISIT AN ALPACA TODAY!
