Olympic Game Farm/Gray Marsh Farm

The boys and I got lucky and Duane was able to take Friday off of work so we could go have some fun family time since he had to work the weekend.

I had heard about a field where you can pick berries all during the summer. I looked it up and sure enough, there was. June is the month for strawberries, and the boys LOVE strawberries. Since we were going to be a couple hours away from home, we decided to make a day of it and try out the Olympic Game Farm. The boys had been asking to go to the zoo, so we figured this would be a nice fix for now...not knowing what to expect.

Since animals prefer to be cool, we decided to go see them first and hope that they would be out and about. Come to find out, they are always out and about as their living areas are what we drive through. We were going slow enough that we were able to unbuckle the boys and let them stand to look. We were SO shocked with how cool this drive-through animal park was. The boys got to feed the animals bread, they got two bears to wave at them, and they had a blast making the peacocks squeak.

Nikolas very happy he gets to be out of his car seat and ready to fee the animals

Kaden still is in shock that the car is moving and he doesn't have to be buckled :)

Nikolas throwing some bread for the zebras

Kaden loved to throw the bread out to the peacocks

Every time he got food and you said bye, he would wave. It was so cool. Sadly, I missed the other one waving :(

Duane had to take this picture through the mirror. It's the only way we could see their faces while looking at the animals.

Being silly!

I was pretty proud of my freshly picked strawberries

Loving that he gets to eat them while picking

Can you tell he is having fun?? haha!

 

Just wanted to share how beautiful these Peacocks are when their feathers are all fanned out.

 

The Cruz family had such an amazing time on our new adventures that will become a must time and time again. We are planning on going berry picking again when the older kiddos get here and maybe back to the Olympic Game Farm as well...or the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle since we have never been there either. Now that both boys are getting older, they are easier to take places and go site seeing. They enjoy it and make it so much fun and memorable.
