Llama Drama

A friend had told me about an animal reserve near Mont Blanc and I put it high on my to-do-before-the-weather-gets-bad list. So waking up one Saturday morning and noticing that the forecast indicated that it would be sunny with a high of 68 degrees (Fahrenheit) and 0% chance of rain at Mont Blanc, I suggested we head that way. So...sometimes the weather forecast is wrong, but we made the most out of it. Most of the animals there are native to the Alpes; however, a couple of Llamas had escaped from the Andes to make there home there. We got lots of Llama love, with no Llama spitting action, thank goodness.

What a great location for a sandbox. It kept the kids entertained so that Daniel and I could enjoy the beautiful, if cloudy, views of the Mont Blanc glaciers.

The morning we had pretty nice weather, but in the early afternoon a thick cloud came through and it started raining. We took the opportunity to hide under a tree and eat our lunch.

How did this tree grow like this?
