Brad has a friend who has an earthworm farm. Mr. Mark was nice enough to take the time out of his day to give us a tour of the farm and explain to us what they are doing. The girls had a good time learning about the worms and what their function is. Kenna liked them so much she decided to taste their "poop". Let me explain - she was playing in a bucket of "dirt" in the barn and looked down at her hands and saw how dirty they were. She licked a finger to clean her hand - but that finger that she had just put in her mouth and licked was dirty and it wasn't dirt she was playing with. It was the finished product (earthworm poop) that just hadn't been put into the bags to be sold for fertilizer. It was so gross!!
Here is Auntie Julie and Ashlyn at the farm. We were so happy that Auntie Julie, Grammy and Grampy and Miss "Auntie" Bett's brother Jack came along with us. We rode the ferry out to the island and then Mr. Mark & his wife took s around and showed us some of the popular sites on the island. We finished up by having lunch and then it was time for the ferry ride back over to Tacoma to get back and get ready for Uncle Spencer & Miss "Auntie" Bett's engagement party.
Here Kenna was helping Mr. Mark feed the earthworms the scraps that he gets from the local restaurants. If you ask Kenna what her favorite part of the farm was she will tell you it was the worm that she saw that was "sleeping" at the bottom of a barrel full of water.
