Love when there are still surprises....

Surprises make me happy.

Some friends from North Dakota came to visit. Lynn was a fellow Speech Path with me and taught in Steve's school. They had been traveling and were on their way home from Alaska and stopped here so we were able to show them a little bit of our world...

The first night we went to Blaine and some people were fishing off the dock. They told us that they were fishing for SHARKS. We laughed and humored them until we saw a man pull this guy in....

Being the quiet person ... okay, I screamed...look it's a shark. So this man was very patient as we photographed the sand shark and I reevaluated EVER going into the freezing water!

On the way to San Juan Island, we saw this sailboat and I loved it...

Of course, this is one of the sights at Roche Harbor ...

And following the theme... this is the name of the outhouses on the island...

On our way around the island, we saw a couple of foxes. We had never seen them before but google says that they do love hanging around the south end of the island. We stopped to survey the water and were looking for the resident pod of orcas....As we were looking out at the water, Lynn said...Steve, turn around slowly and get into the car. This little guy came up and sat in the front of the car. He wasn't afraid! He waited until we had taken all of the pictures we wanted, got into the car, and left...

It's fun experiences surprises when you are seeing familiar sights with friends.
