Is Your Mama a Llama?

UVU's anthropology club had a service project this morning, cleaning at the Hare Krishna temple in Spanish Fork. Kimball and I went too, just for a few minutes. While Jordan was cleaning, we walked around and saw the llamas, the peacocks, and even some kind of cow peeking out at us through a door.



Kimball looks worried here, but what he really wants is the phone that I'm taking pictures with.

The Hare Krishna temple is a really neat place. On the first floor, there is a shop and a vegetarian buffet. The second floor is a beautiful room where people come to play traditional music, think, visit, and worship. Anyone can go, but you have to take off your shoes!

Several times a year, there are public events celebrating various Indian festivals, such as the Festival of Colors, India Fest, and (my favorite) Llama fest!

That was great that you got to take Kimball with you guys, even for a few minutes. I absolutely love llamas. I asked (begged) Uncle Gwyl to buy me a llama that was for sale in the paper when I was a kid. Needless to say, he said no. I still hold a grudge to this day!

I love llamas! I There are couple that live by me. I've named them Llarry and Lliam. But, because it's so cold outside, I haven't seen them for a while. I miss them.

I'm ridiculously impressed that you were able to get a picture while holding a baby. I've tried multiple times and I'm just not that coordinated. (His facial expression in that one is priceless.)

What a fun adventure for Kimball! Just curious--do you tell Kimball that he is about to be spit upon by a "yama" or a "lama"? I never know which way to pronounce it.

Oh. It's camels that do the spitting, huh.

Jen--maybe someday, Randy will get you a llama for your birthday!

Jenni--your llama names are cute!

Alicia--taking the picture with Kimball was harder than I thought it would be.

Mom--'Round these parts, I say 'lama'...I'm not hispanic, after all. And I'm pretty sure they also spit, although they are supposedly gentle creatures.
