Visit to the Oyama Lake Alpaca Farm

On Sat I went to a very special Sit N Stitch. We visited the local Alpaca Farm and had a great time. I took a bunch of pictures while the alpaca's were wondering around the field with us. We even got to pet one. Click on the pictures if you want to see a bigger one.

They come in over 20 colours! They currently own about 30 alpaca's.

The funiest thing all day was seeing a bunch of them lying in the sun. They like to warm up their bellies, and keep their backs cool.

This black one is Tiffany, she was friendly. The rest didn't get this close.

They have a spectacular view from their farm! (Left Kalamalka Lake, Right Wood Lake, the other end from what I can see from my house.)

After the farm tour and browsing the gift shop we went down to Gatzke's Orchard Cafe for lunch and to knit for awhile.

Evelyn, knitting on a wrap, she even said it was TV knitting, lace, ah I don't think so.

Look what I got at from the farm!
