We went over to the peninsula to Sequim to the Olympic Game Farm with Dee Ann. I went there growing up and we have gone with other family, but Dee Ann has never been there. We rode a ferry over and the kids liked that. Kate got scared when they blew the horn and we were outside so it was loud. She asked a million questions about the ferry when we were waiting to load onto the ferry. The day started out overcast then the clouds burned off and it was a nice day. We had hot cocoa on the ferry ride over and had ice cream at Port Gamble before getting on the ferry to come back. Quite the extremes, ha!
You drive through this game farm. There are llamas, bears, peacocks, a rhinoceros (that didn't move), elk, bison, deer, lions, tigers and other animals. A lot are behind fences, but several are wandering around and as you drive through they come up to your car and you can feed them bread. Our car had lots of animal slobber by the time we were done. It was funny. I remember coming here growing up and we were in our camper (one that fits in the back of a pick-up). Well, the buffalo were rocking our pick-up and we were screaming and worried the pick-up would tip. My Dad was laughing because he knew we were fine. The buffalo also stuck their head into the cab of the pick-up right next to my Dad. It was quite the memory so it's been fun to go back and take my kids here.
These llamas were aggressive. They sure liked the bread. All these animals are carb lovers. Who knew! They get so much bread fed to them from all us crazy people. :)
Preston hanging out on my lap.
The bear waving to us. Some of these bears and animals have been in movies in Hollywood. They are famous. :)
Peacock spreading it's feathers.
One of the elk trying to get into our car. It was funny. They left so much slobber. Kate would get scared when we drove by the elk. She didn't like them chasing our car. She even jumped into the very last row in the suburban to hide from the animals. It was hilarious.
Kyle feeding the elk some bread. While I was taking a picture out his window, somehow my window got rolled down all the way and Preston was sitting on my lap. Well, Kyle says, "Heidi, look out!" I look and their is an elk about to nibble on Preston's head. Preston wasn't doing anything. But I got scared and moved my legs to move him and Kyle drove away trying to get away from the elk. It was scary, but funny. Good thing nothing happened.
The buffalo (actually American bison, but who can tell, right?) would wander slowly up to the car. They were BIG and hairy. The elk were crazier because they were fast and would chase our car.
The deer swarming the car in front of us.
Princess wearing Kate's pajama shirt as her nightgown.
This one makes me laugh. Kate crosses her eyes often (for fun I guess) so I had to post this one.
