Whew.....this gramma has been ever so busy spending time with my little grandson. It's simply the best. Yesterday we hopped in the car and drove THREE hours (have I ever said that I HATE to drive??) to the Olympic Game Farm in Sequim, Washington. What a wonderful day! Sequim is the sweetest little town.....I loved it!
They're famous for lavender there. I didn't even know that until I was researching this trip for my little guy...........(we visited a lavender farm as well).
We had a sunny beautiful day.......
The Olympic Game Farm is unlike any zoo I've ever visited. You drive through the entire park in your car and let me tell you........you get REALLY close to the animals. I was a bit anxious at times..
I swear....there is NOTHING better than looking at things through this little guy's eyes....He was sooooooooooo excited to go and must have told me how much fun he had and that he loved me a gazillion times.
Ahhhhhhhhh..........I'd do ANYTHING for this child.
We visited the petting zoo........
He was thrilled to see the bison. He'd never seen them before, so it was something new for him.He's crazy about animals and has been to MANY zoos.
They said not to feed the bison right now....they're in rut and a bit aggressive, but we could feed all the other animals on our way through.
Yes, we went through twice. He really wanted to see everything again.
I can't remember what kind of deer this was, but my boy knew... :-)Have you ever seen an all-white deer before?
I'm a lousy photographer and I was trying to watch what was going on around us while taking photos ahead....there were about 6-8 elk around this car a few moments earlier. They look RIGHT in the window. HOLY COW!....or should I say HOLY ELK! :-)
See the elk-ett wandering over to the blue car....they were going to each car looking for a treat.
Elk and deer.......believe me......there were WAY more than this!
Like I said, I'm a bit slow on the action shots, but this was the MOST amazing thing! They have a sprinkler set up and this bear was standing up, dancing around in the water! It was hilarious. Then he plopped down and played in the mud. He was a BIG boy.
Not much between us and these fellas.
I swear to you, this guy smiled and waved! I'm NOT kidding!
Is this not the MOST beautiful animal? I am crazy about black and white animals. Pandas and penguins too! Isn't she pretty? We didn't feed her, there was a sign that said they bite. OUCH...
Yep, looking for a treat! They sell loaves of bread on the way in...Of course we had to have some too.
My favorite boy feeding the llamas.Careful honey pie....they spit!
Prairie dogs.......gosh they were funny!
There was a sign............."How many eagles can you count"?.....there were way more than these few! Isn't that just stunning?
Not something you see every day....the chickens hanging out with the peacock?
An all white peacock? Amazing.If you don't live too far from Sequim, you really need to make the trek to see this amazing park. We've already planned another trip for next summer.
I'll be looking forward to it, but my boy is already anticipating.
I LOVE being a gramma.........it's such a special relationship!
I know I've been a bad blogging buddy..........and haven't been around to visit all of you lovely sweeties. I've been keeping my boy for most of the summer so we've been doing lots of fun little things together. I don't want time to slip away and regret missed moments.
Thanks for coming and for wading through so many pix.
Love to all of you!
