Alpaca Festival

We visited an Alpaca Festival in York, Pennsylvania with Uncle Aaron and Aunt Kristin. It was very interesting to learn about this little known subculture.
Alpacas are not the same as llamas. They got offended if you call them that.
Alpaca shearers come from New Zealand to give the Alpacas their once-a-year haircut. It's hard to see, but that Alpaca's front and back legs are tied up and he's stretched out so its belly is facing you. They make crazy sounds too.
They look quite funny when they're done. But don't make fun of them. It hurts their feelings.
