This was Britt and my first time feeding and petting llamas outside of a zoo,

very much part of the conversation the whole time

The llamas all had such different personalities,

and it was so cool to see them in their home.

and the woman who runs it has cared for the animals for years.

Hopefully it's you that gets to feed the llamas their next meal.

The guest book is also full of recs for other fun things to do in the area - like a cute little train ride at a rail museum, an alpaca farm tour, and more!
