TRAVELS TO MARTHA'S VINEYARD: DAY 6

I guess I didn't take any pictures on Wednesday.
If I remember correctly, we went back to Oak Bluffs and walked around a bit..
with express purpose of finding the carousel.
(We did.  It was closed.  Till Saturday.  When we were headed home.)

Thursday, we went out to see the alpaca farm.



Alpacas do spit.
But its on a rare occasion.
Not like llamas.
They had a whole bunch of pregnant alpacas due to give birth at any minute.
But we did not get to witness it.
There were also some newborns, but they did not get close enough for a good picture.







Rather funny looking creatures.


















They had the outdoor pens, inside the barn, and then a gift shop.
It was a bit too expensive to purchase anything.



Around here, generally, if you plan an outing it'll take at least half a day..
there--well, we tried to make it stretch to an hour.
And it was tough.
: p



Later after lunch,
we took the kids miniature golfing for the first time.






Rian did not play, but she helped hold Daddy's club.



Patiently waiting their turn.






Michael especially enjoyed mini golfing.






Pretty flowers.







For the most part, the kids did it all by themselves, but there were a few holes,
this one included, where Daddy lended a hand.
We didn't want the balls ending up in the water and going down the waterfall..



Okay, Rian did have her moment.



The last hole.
Where is the ball??



Michael couldn't find it either. :)



After golfing, we got some dinner..and took the
LONG route to Menemsha to see the sunset.
Supposedly it is on the to-do list when one visits Martha's Vineyard.






It was freezing!
We were going to get out of the car, but the kids and I stayed in
while Mike got out and took pictures.
There is our car.









Isn't God's creation awesome?!







There are 4 lighthouses on Martha's Vineyard, I believe.
We could see one shining from here.
No picture though.



Time for night-night!

Thank you for visiting our farm!! It looked like it was a lovely day here -- bright and sunny. I am so sorry that you did not get to feel and alpaca, perhaps you came on a day that our host was not working. Every once in a while they come close enough to pet, but generally they are very cautious, and move out of reach if they see a hand coming towards them. Just there nature!
So sorry too that you found our store to be expensive..We strive to have something for every budget. We have little stuffed natural fur, alpaca for just $5.95, and so much more-- I hope one day you can visit again and take a closer look! -- Next time stay for coffee ( always offered ) and introduce yourselves! All the best, warmest greetings from all of us at Island Alpaca Farm!-- www.islandalpaca.com
