Birthday Island

In June, on my birthday weekend, we went up to San Juan Island to help a good friend of AH move into his new farm house.  I *heart* SJI - it's so beautiful there!  Needless to say it was pure torture for me to spend my birthday in one of my favorite places. 

The kids helped out with the chickens and turkeys .

 

The men assembed the coop.

Mr. B and Beeb made several new friends with the young chickens and turkeys.  The turkeys were named "Thanksgiving" and "Christmas". . .  I'll let you figure out why.

We got to hang out with their darling little girl.

 Mr. B did some target practicing with a BB gun. 

The island has a fox who is quite famous.  He literally just sits along the side of the road and causes traffic jams as cars suddenly stop to photograph him.  We happened to drive by him on our way to a beach - he was still there on our way back.  Thankfully no cars were behind us = no traffic jam caused by my need to get his photo.

 Waiting for the ferry. 

I'll miss you SJI but at least we now have a place to stay when we come to visit.
