Alpaca Show

Trevor and I took a nice drive up to Lexington. I was thrilled that it's now less than an hour away; I continue to find joy in the convenience of living close to what seems like everything.

We have friends who own an alpaca farm. The alpacas are adorable. Trevor spends time with them. He knows their names and their personalities. I know nothing (seriously).



Trevor spent time on the floor with his friends, waiting for their turns in the ring.



Instead of being rated on the alpacas, the kids are rated for their own showmanship ability.



In a second event, they lead their alpacas through an obstacle course and place based on how well they work with their animal. I was impressed with the length of time the judges spent with the different groups, giving brief, private encouragements to each competitor on how to improve their skills.



I took the boys to lunch--Country Cooking. I'm glad we've tried it, and now I can never go back(!). The boys loved it, choosing their own salads, sides, desserts at the salad bar.

We missed the costume show. I'm not sure if it would have been the funniest event to watch, or the most humiliating, haha.



With Trevor on the floor, I spent most of the time chatting with another friend in the bleachers. The absolute highlight of Trev's day was hanging onto Jango's lead for an hour or so. There was a lot of waiting around, but he was THRILLED!
