Visiting "Pacas"

Yesterday we went to an alpaca farm that was having an open house. Little Bird enjoyed watching them eat grass. She very quickly picked up the word for them saying "paca" after only hearing it about two times. None of them were brave enough to get close to the fence so we could pet them (although they would come up and let the owner). And LB scared a couple of them when she would run excitedly to the part of the fence they were standing near. It was a fun little adventure and it was great to have sunny warm weather.

Peaches

A couple weeks ago LB and I went peach picking. She loved picking up "balls" from the ground and off the low branches. Fortunately she was not interested in the mushy, fermenting ones on the ground.

Since then we have been enjoying some delicious peaches. All of them have been so juicy and flavorful--so much better than from the grocery store. LB wasn't so sure that she liked them at first, but soon she chomping away.

 
 With some of the peaches, I decided to try making some peach jam this year. It looks pretty but we haven't opened one of the jars yet to try it.
