Our little Jojo has become quite the Alpaca Whisperer! He loves to go help his dad and be with these animals. What a cutie!

As promised I am posting some pictures of the boys with the alpacas. Everyday we go out and "walk" Power Point. What we are really doing is getting him used to the halter and lead so he doesn't freak out at a show. This is Elijah's favorite part of the day and he is getting more comfortable too!
Power Point used to get away from him more often than not, now Lij is getting the hang of it!
Peanut still needs a little help, but does get brave enough to try it on his own every once in a while. However, today was not one of those times!
Jojo mostly likes to run after them and chase them. Today he was singing songs to them.
After we were done the boys went to play in the front yard and the alpacas got a little curious.

This past Friday we took a trip up to the Butler farm where our alpacas were being boarded and we brought them to their new home!
Adam built the shed but he still needs to get the electric all hooked up so we can have lights and outlets. The alpaca's need fans running in all this summer heat, so for now we are running an extension cord from the house.
We also decided to get another bred female to add to our tiny little herd. She is 10 years old and has been a great producer. She has had 8 babies with no trouble and is due again in September. Her name is Olympia and we are very excited to see what her cria will look like in the fall!
We also have Consequences, but we have been calling her Connie. She is due in the middle of July, so we are very excited and a little nervous about next month.
Here is our little guy, Power Point. He was a year old on Friday and he is a sweet boy. We will be taking him to shows this fall and next spring. Elijah loves to have his halter and lead put on so he can walk him around.
They seem to have adjusted and are enjoying their new home. They especially like watching the boys play in the front lawn.
The boys are having a blast and even enjoy coming out to help with the chores! I haven't gotten any pictures of that yet, but when I do you know I will be posting them!
