Heartbeet Family Weekend

What an awesome weekend! I've thoroughly enjoyed being part of Family Weekend at Heartbeet Lifesharing. Yesterday was the open house and this morning was the family brunch. It was a great opportunity to meet all the family members I have heard so much about.

This morning Connor's family came to see the llamas! Anakin was happy to meet his friend's family and show off how well they work together! I was very proud of both of them. I'm afraid I didn't take any pictures (this is an older pic), but as soon as I get some from the family I'll put them up. Thanks so much for visiting--hope we'll see you again soon!

What's happening at the farm this week...

You can tell it's been a busy time--not a lot of time for blogging. We've been busy working on the picnic area, moving a shed to the pasture for the horses, starting restoration of the antique tractors, overseeing the trail construction and shearing llamas. We also welcomed home a new llama yesterday! His name is Sir Black Lightning. He's by far the biggest llama we have. He was living with a very nice family nearby who were a bit intimidated (understandably) by his size and felt he needed a new home. We are excited to try him out here and work at overcoming his fears--like being touched anywhere but his face! Two of us walked him the 3 mile trip home. He did great--never spooked once, but did lie down in the road for a rest halfway! It's so nice to be enjoying summer on the farm!

Here are some pictures of Sir, moving the roof of the shed and Eddie's homemade tractor restoration paint booth!

Trooper's First Haircut

After the party yesterday, Trooper had his first shearing. He wasn't particularly excited about the event, but is feeling a lot cooler and more comfortable now!

Happy Birthday, Alexis!

We were thrilled to celebrate Alexis' birthday with her and her friends today. She walked Whoopie Pie, her favorite llama, through the new obstacle course. (See there video at the end of this post.) They did a wonderful job! Then her friends all had a try walking Whoopie, George or Mexia. It was a lot of fun for the girls AND the llamas! We all thought George was pretty funny standing on top of the platform and looking around to be sure everyone saw him! There were some mighty fine llama walkers in this group.








Hope you all had as much fun as we did! Thank you for visiting Agape Hill Farm!!

2009 East Hardwick Children's Parade

Kitty and Cookie made their first public appearance today at the East Hardwick parade. They traveled very well in the van and did quite well meeting people--Cookie especially. Anakin Darth Llama went as well and acted like the seasoned professional he is becoming. He even went into the church to check out the bake sale!

Danny & Kristina and their llamas won 1st prize for pet entries and everyone had a great time!

Kindergarten Field Trip!!

Here are some more pictures from the kindergarten field trip. Sorry for not getting them online sooner--my own kids had field trips this week and events in the evening as well. Such a busy time of year!

Your children were such fun--hope you will come for a visit again soon!!

Favorite Field Trip Pictures

We enjoyed visits from two elementary school groups yesterday. 2 kindergarten classes came for an interactive farm visit and a 6th grade girls group set off on a llama hike. I'll be posting more pictures later this week, but in the meantime here are my favorites:
