Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival

The first weekend in May we packed up the kids and headed down to Maryland for the Sheep and Wool Festival. We saw lots of sheep. And a couple of alpacas. I am in love with the alpacas. The ones we saw were babies and I'll have to see the grown up version before I'm positively committed (because of course baby anything is cute) but they were sweet and super soft. Not to mention that I think I love alpaca yarn. I haven't actually knit any yet but I found, as my friend Jessie and I were browsing the various offerings of the many vendors there, that the alpaca yarn was always my favorite.
Anyways, it was hot. But apparently the kids had a good time in spite of the heat because Ashley thanked me so, so, so much for taking her and Matthew said it was super awesome. I guess they like sheep. Rachel and Tyler seemed to like it too. I'm not so sure about Audrey but she was a good sport. The best sport though was Mike. He is not a fan of crowds (and it was plenty crowded) and it was a bit of a drive to get there and we left at 6:30 am. He must love his wife or something.
