About Me
My name is Tami and I live in central Illinois with my husband, Larry and three children, Caleb (5), Camden (3) and Emma Grace (13 months). I hope you'll enjoy reading about my life as a wife/mother and about our family's adventures.
Alpaca’s and Gardening
This week Caleb and Camden had their first field trip for the summer session of preschool. They went to the Alpaca Farm outside of town. This was one of the best field trips we have gone on. It is right up there with the Ropp Dairy Farm.
The alpaca’s really liked the children and we were even able to pet one named Josephina.
The week before our field trip, one of the alpaca’s had a baby. She was 17 pounds when she was born and is gaining about 1 pound a day. She was so cute.
On Tuesday, we went out to my dad’s so that the boys could help plant the garden. This is something they help with every year. They even have their own gardening tools that we bring along. They planted tomatoes, cucumbers and green peppers. They each have a special tomato plant that they are in charge of. When we go out to visit, they will get to water it and help pick the tomatoes when they are ripe. They are so excited about helping again this year.
