Last year's trip to the
Great Midwest Alpaca Festival was a day full of furry cuteness, so when I saw that the event was back in town this year, I knew I had to give it another go.
Accompanied by fellow knitters, Kat and Caitlin, we bonded with a variety of Midwestern alpacas and checked out a lovely assortment of yarn.
We had a feeling that we'd run into Mindy and Linda from
Galpaca Farms, and sure enough, they brought a few adorable friends to the event, like this guy:
 |
| Meet Tsunami! He was happy to pose for a photo with me. |
 |
| Snacking on some hay for the camera. Total diva. |
The cuteness was everywhere! Kat and Caitlin also made some new friends:
 |
| Kat experienced some first class fluff. |
 |
| Caitlin found her soulmate. |

And just in case alpacas weren't enough to draw us to the event, there were many yarn vendors for us to see, too:

| Diving into some freshly sheared alpaca wool. SO soft! |
 |
| Lovely blues. |
 |
| Great colors! |
Oh, and then there was this alpaca who really enjoyed dinner to the fullest:
All in all, it was a great day, and I think I'll make this an annual thing. We ended the day with a delicious dinner at
Pasqual's, complete with refreshing sangria:

| Cheers to alpacas! |
