Port Ludlow (Better late than never)

My blogging has become extremely low on the priority list, but I didn’t want to miss out on documenting our last vacation of the summer! Be warned though, it’s gonna be a long one.

In August, we went with Aaron’s side of the family to Port Ludlow on the Olympic Peninsula.  Grandma and Grandpa Jones rented this really nice beach house for us to stay in…

We packed quite a bit of activities into this short trip!  On Friday, the guys went golfing while the rest of us took the kids to the Olympic Game Farm in Sequim.  If you have not done this, you really need to.  It is amazing! A guaranteed good time. You drive through in your car and feed the animals bread from the window.  It’s the only place I know of where you can get this close to the animals. I used to go here every summer when I was little, so this visit was a bit nostalgic for me.

And this is Alice after one of these buffalo stuck his head in her window and licked the back of her head.  Now THIS is good times people! I love this picture.

There was also a small petting zoo.

No, we did not get spit on. Now that would have been hilarious.

After the Game Farm, we met up with the guys for a family bike ride around Fort Flagler State Park.  We also explored the bunkers at the fort. 

On Saturday we went on a hike in the rainforest in the Olympic National Park.

On Sunday before we came home, the kids had a blast playing on the beach and building a fort out of driftwood.

 

And here is my attempt at a shot of the whole family. (Can you find my remote in these pics? This was before I learned about the 3 second remote delay on my camera…OH!!! THAT’S what that is for!)

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a fun weekend!
