so if one didn&#8217;t work out, there was another right close by.\u00a0 So we ignored the chores and piled into Big Bumpy.\u00a0 After looking at the forecasts earlier in the week saying rain&#8230; it turned out to be a nice day!\u00a0 We stopped first at Cama Beach State Park.\u00a0 Unfortunately there wasn&#8217;t much parking there so we headed over to Camano Island State Park.<\/p>\n<p>Between parks, one of the boys spotted a small fawn and was able to catch a blurry image as it crossed the road behind us.\u00a0 Upon arriving at the park, we sat\u00a0down for a picnic and watched an eagle soar above us &#8211; unfortunately, he disappeared before we were able to take his pic.\u00a0 After lunch we walked the beach and in addition to just enjoying walking the beach, discovered lots of crabs.\u00a0\u00a0We also discovered that there was another side of the park &#8211; so drove over there where there was not only beach but several hiking trails.\u00a0 With not much time, we headed down one of the trails and found lots of snakes.\u00a0 After enjoying some outside activities, we made a quick stop at the Cama Beach welcome center as it had been closed when we first arrived.\u00a0 We had to make it brief as they were closing up shop for the day but there were several interesting displays of various wildlife.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-61 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/?attachment_id=62'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/April-4-2015-004-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-62\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-62'>\n\t\t\t\tthe boys watch the eagle overhead\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/?attachment_id=65'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/April-4-2015-030-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-65\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-65'>\n\t\t\t\tcute crab\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/?attachment_id=67'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/April-4-2015-049-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-67\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-67'>\n\t\t\t\tlots of crabs\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/?attachment_id=70'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/April-4-2015-377-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/?attachment_id=73'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/April-4-2015-456-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/?attachment_id=76'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/life.demoorehuis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/April-4-2015-537-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-76\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-76'>\n\t\t\t\tdon&#8217;t tell anyone&#8230;
