More fun on the Peninsula!

Well, we toured tons of Lavender farms, spent a day on the Dungeoness River and went to the Audubon Center (very interesting). We also saw a Salmon shark in Sequim Bay! However, I didn't have my camera for any of these outings...sorry! We had a lovely day with the girls...Mom, Melanie, Natalie, Jaime, Hannah, Cori and myself touring lavender farms. The final one had a beautiful cafe, set up like a garden room. We sat and had a late lunch, complete with lavender lemonade.
Mark had to return home and two days later, everyone else, but the kids and I headed home. We felt a little lonely on our own, but continued to have adventures. We drove to Port Townsend one day to check out the ferry. I was considering pulling the trailer on to one as it would save us five hours or more heading to our next destination. It seemed doable...with a lot of prayer. the heat hit a whopping 89 degrees that day with slight humidity. That was our hottest day in Washington. It was a cold, but fun, fourth of July. Every day after that has been beautiful. Sorry Californians,
(105!?)
Well, we decided to do a very touristy thing and go to the Olympic Game Farm. We heard that you drive around and see animals and you can feed them bread. How dangerous can that be? We thought it was neat, but a little hokey at first. Llamas wander around, but zebras are caged. Then we got to feed a rhino, and some kind of musk ox. When we came out of a forest, we hit grizzly bear country. We were five feet away from these guys! After that, we saw wolves, lions, and fed buffalo and elk. What fun it was. We used up all our bread, bought five more loaves at the booth and went around again! You've got to see these pictures, to believe it.

  1. You are right... that's unbelievable! I can't believe that's allowed in the US! What would Yosemite rangers say? Feeding the ducks won't ever cut it again after that experience... what fun!
