Llama!

I går var den vildeste dag. Vi tog ud til min søsters kollega for at se lamaer. Det var et stykke ude på landet, og vi var vist ikke helt forberedt.
Lamaerne så vi! De så sandelig også os, for de er utroligt nysgerrige. De stak deres store hoved helt op i vores og stirrede temmelig intenst. Man blev lidt bekymret for om de ville spytte, men faktisk var de bare - nysgerrige! Især da Bailey (hunden) fik lov at se dem. Bailey var helt rundt på gulvet over de mærkelige dyr der kom løbende for at kigge nærmere på ham......

Yesterday was an amazing day. We went to my sister's colleague to get to see the llamas. It was out in the countryside, and we were not prepared for what happened.
We saw the llamas! Actually, they saw us first, since they are incredibly curious. They put their big heads very close to ours and stared in a very intense way. This made us a little worried whether they would spit, but in reality, they were just - curious! Especially when Bailey (the dog) got to see them. He was quite bewildered over these strange animals that came running to take a closer look......

Så fik vi lov at gå tur med dem! Alle 4 lamaer i snor, mens de to får og de to geder bare fulgte med. Får og geder var ikke helt begejstret for Bailey, så han fik lov at vente i bilen. Min mindste nevø var ikke helt begejstret for de store dyr, så han ventede på trampolinen! Alle andre nød turen i fulde drag.

Then we got to take them for a walk! All 4 llamas on a leash, while the two goats and two sheep just followed along. Goats and sheep weren't too happy about Bailey, who got to wait in the car. My youngest nephew wasn't too happy about the big animals, and waited on the trampoline. The rest of us? We enjoyed the trip to the max!

Der er ingen sne i Michigan lige nu, og min søsters ældste med hans "flok" faldt godt ind i farverne.
(Til gengæld kommer der sne i dag!)

There is no snow in Michigan right now, and my sister's oldest with his "flock" blended in with the colors. (But we'll have snow today!)

 

Her er "Eclipse" som jeg fik lov at holde. Vi hyggede os! Jeg fik også uld med hjem fra alle 4 lamaer og det ene får. Jeg skal virkelig have øvet mig på at spinde! For med så fin uld fra mine "venner" skal jeg da kunne finde ud af at gøre det ordentligt. 

Så - tak for en fantastisk dejlig dag, Diane! Det var en helt usædvanlig og ret fantastisk oplevelse. 

This is "Eclipse", which I got to hold. We had fun! I also got to get some wool from all 4 llamas and one of the sheep. I have to practice spinning! Wool this special from my "friends" calls for me to be able to do it properly. 

So - thank you for an amazingly wonderful day, Diane! It was a very unusual and amazing experience.

Iøvrigt - nu er det jo mandag! Så dagens opskrift er en lama-hat. God fornøjelse!

By the way - it is Monday! So today's pattern is a llama-hat. Have fun!
