We all were ready for an adventure, (kind of, I have a very nasty cold) and so we headed for Vashion Island. It is a very beautiful drive which even includes a ferry ride. Bryce was so excited about this. She has done this many times before on our adventures up here, but I think that because she is older, she enjoyed it so much more. 
After we got off the ferry, it was time to see some beauty. Everything is so green from all of the rain and smells so crisp (what I can smell). Bryce told Grandpa Ken that she wanted to see a horse, so he found her one. She then said, I want to see a pig, we looked but we could'nt fill that request. But we did find these Alpaca's instead. How cute they are with their fresh shorn coats. We were on a goose chase as Bryce would say.
As usual, when we visit Vashion there is a trip to the Hardware Store. No, not a real one, it used to be back in the day, but now it is a yummy little restaurant with fabulous food. With full belly's and a little shopping, we decided to head back across the water. A few days before, we had read in the paper that a Humpback whale was feeding right where we were taking the ferry. On the way over, we looked so hard but never came across him. Then on the way back...there he was. What a treat that was! These pictures are so far from where he was, we were on the dock waiting for the ferry. But we did get to watch him, which was so fun.
If you look really hard in the middle of the picture you can see his water spray 
Walking with Daddy!
Look at those dramatic clouds. If you don't like the weather around here, wait an hour. 
Our little climber! Careful little one!
Look at all those fish!
Chasing a pigeon with Grandpa
Flying on Grandma's shoulders
Looking out the window of Grandpa's truck on the ferry
