Colby's Birthday Party

Whoopie Pie had his first birthday party adventure today! He was invited to Colby's 6th birthday party.


The party began with a short lesson about llamas.




After the kids had learned the proper way to meet a llama,
Whoopie came into the house for a visit.

Then it was off for a walk around the neighborhood. Colby and his friends each took a turn walking Whoopie.

Ethan, a llama walking pro, takes a turn!

Isaiah seems to like me MUCH better
when I have a llama! Maybe I should
bring Whoopie to church on Sunday!


Derek is another great llama walker!

We even paid a visit to Colby's grandparents!

Whoopie Pie did the most interesting thing! After walking quietly for at least 20 minutes, he began humming frantically. We quickly realized he was upset because some of the boys had run ahead to play on the snowbanks. He definitely considered it his responsibility to keep an eye on the kids and settled right back down as soon as they came back near him.
Good job, Whoopie!

Then it was time to say goodbye and load back up into the van. The kids finished the party making felted bouncing balls and Whoopie was ready to head home to his friends. On the way we took advantage of a $5 special at the car wash. Whoopie LOVED the carwash and followed the spray around the car! He is most definitely a public relations llama!
