Have you Ever Seen an ...

ALPACA? (Did you think i was going to say llama?)

 

As Robin and her clan headed to Niagara Falls for a HUGE adventure, Kim had Adventure Tuesday solo this week. 

Kim, Mimi,T, and R ventured to Eastland Alpacas (http://www.eastlandalpacas.com/index.shtml) in Mt. Joy. Definitely easy to get to, via GPS. It is a beautiful 30 acre farm. 

PLANNING: Reservations are suggested.  I did not make exact reservations, but I suggest calling

Mimi gives some alpaca love

ahead to make sure that the workers are going to be there. I told them a time frame of when we would be there.

THE ADVENTURE: We first stopped at the little store attached to their home. There were many alpaca items to purchase. Yarn, socks, and sweaters. I recommend the socks!! You are invited to visit with the alpacas and pet them at no cost. They offer a guided tour for a donation. 

Originally, we walked around on our own.  In addition to the alpacas, there were kittens that had T and R's attention and 1 llama. After our self-guided walk, we did opt for the tour. It was so informative and fun! I had no clue alpacas ran so fast!! The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. She let us hold a baby alpaca, feed the alpacas, and even hug them!! I highly recommend this tour.

On the way home we stopped at Mazzoli Ice Cream (https://www.facebook.com/Mazzoliicecream) 2 W. Governor Rd. in Hershey. Founded in 1956, they make their own ice cream. One word....YUM!!!
