Granola Bars and Alpacas

In the children's lunch today:

I followed the recipe exactly (First time for everything), I even watched the video while I made it. It was fun, and they are delicious, and believe her when she says to wait before you cut them....

I took the kids to an Alpaca fiber mill this past weekend. Well, half of the kids. We had a good time, and they offered to give us a tour of the processing machines. Wendy, the owner of East Valley Alpacas, told us to go through the back of the shop and find Jen, who was giving tours. We went in, and an alpaca ran up to greet us! It was a little disconcerting, because I was not really sure how to behave around him. He was not shy. Eventually, Jen saved us and introduced him. He is Jack. He is only 1 year old, and is small for his age because he has digestive problems. He was very gentle, and unbelievable soft. Mirra and Mason were glad to meet him too!
