We had a nice family reunion on Saturday followed by a trip to Sequim. We decided to stay in hotel for Damon's birthday and do some of the top activities Sequim has to offer. Just like everything else we seem to do our activities are bigger than our hours and I am glad that I wasn't able to book the Kayaking trip on Saturday and we didn't bring the tandem. We had just enough time to enjoy a hike in the Rain Forest, cut short a little by entering the national park where the No's include no pets. It worked out perfect and we crossed a bridge and did another trail. It was hard to get Tarn to cross the bridge, but eventually to avoid being left behind he crossed at Damon's heals and bounded across unaided on the way back. Damon had been concerned on the drive up fearing we may get stuck without seeing any other cars on the dirt road. In true westside fashion the road opened up to a parking lot full of cars sporting environmental bumper stickers. It is so pretty up there in the woods. We got back just in time to visit the Sequim Game Farm. Here we come goats! I thought it was going to freak Damon out. It did a little, especially the penned cougar, that two hours earlier I was reading how to avoid an attack from the hiking book. They could make it a little more comfortable for the animals but it is crazy cool to see Kodiak bears just sitting 2 feet from you surrounded by a circle of uneaten bread. I am not sure if the highlight was touching a buffalo tongue or spending time with goats. We ended the trip with a ferry ride and a stop at Marymore Dog Park. No pictures but that place must be like Disney Land for dogs. So fun for Tarn.

It was so nice to have a brief beachy visit and to see your family! Looks like the trip was a hit, I think that game farm is a whole lot of weird and fun rolled into one. Love that Damon pulled a little Birthday boy weight!
I've never been to the game farm. Micah would LOVE it. Now we MUST go! I had no idea it was Damon's birthday. Happy birthday!
