December Snow Day

We had a little snow on the ground when we got up this morning. I was very surprised to see all of the alpacas tucked inside the barns. Usually I find them cushed in the snow, especially Amorette! It was so beautiful this morning, quite the winter wonderland. I took the opportunity to take some snowy photos. The snow was still coming down and made for a fun photo shoot! It is so much fun to see the cria get all excited about getting out to run in the snow and to chase each other. The moms have seen it before but they get a little excited too! In the Columbia River Gorge, where we live, we get snow off and on and this was a cold front that the news was reporting on. They asked for photos of the snow in the Gorge so I posted one on their facebook page. Much to our surprise they included our photo during the weather segment on the 5 o'clock news! Our alpacas became TV stars! The winter wonderland stuck around all day. Glad it was only a couple of inches. When we get feet it makes it so much harder to get around and shoveling paths can be a challenge. However, they are worth every minute of work we do. We love these fuzzy kids!
