Alpaca Trip

family photo

I recently returned from this summer’s second trip to Michigan. While there, the fam took a field trip to an Alpaca Farm. As always, I enjoy the time I get to spend with the people I love and adore. Below are some family photos of our day.

Ahnalaya Ann loved feeding the alpacas. Archer wasn’t quite sure about putting his hand out to them. 😜

Ahnalaya Ann loves my little Canon Sure Shot. At five, she is posing people for photos. Highly amusing to me.

Cute little alpaca.
people on a swing
I thoroughly enjoy swinging. If there is a swing nearby…I am going to park myself on it. So many great memories of sitting on swings.

Archer enjoyed swinging with me. He is my little buddy. 🥰

One of my favorite activities with Ahnalaya Ann is picking raspberries. We have spent many hours picking and eating berries together.

I am sporting my new Alpaca hat. 😆 I bought a couple of hats and some socks while on our tour of the farm. Those babies are soft and warm. Super excited to see how they do this winter. I am not trying to rush the cold weather…just wondering how the socks will compare to my wool ones combined with my hiking boots. 🤔

Driving at Night

After several trips traveling through the night, I have finally learned my secret to staying awake.

CAKE POPS!!!!!!

😜🤣😉

Before Bobbi and I left to return home, Vanessa and I made some cake pops. It hit me after eating Ahnalaya’s birthday cake. I was WIDE AWAKE and PUMPED full of energy. Remembering Vanessa had made extra cake, I said to her…I need some cake or cake pops for the trip home.

I rolled them and Vanessa dipped them in chocolate.

Two cake pops on the trip home and I was suitable for the entire drive. 😂 I had Bobbi chitty-chatting with me until 1 or 2 am. Great conversation…felt bad for keeping her awake. I guess sugar makes me a chatty Cathy. 😂🤷‍♀️

Most people chug energy drinks but for me…NOT an option. HOWEVER, gluten-free cake with some coconut sugar WORKS.

I wish this epiphany had happened years earlier, but I am glad I know now. Crystal Ann has one more Michigan trip coming up this summer. It is a trip I will be prepared for. 💪
