Another long weekend, another chance to hang out in Orcas Island!
Since it was a holiday weekend, we were very worried about traffic going to the Island. The Washington State Ferry system kept saying that this is the busiest weekend of the year for them so when we weren't able to secure reservations, we made sure to head out early on Friday and decide to walk on the ferry instead of drive on. Thank goodness we made it!
On Saturday, we woke up and walked to the Fire Station for their Pancake breakfast. It's about a mile walk from our place so not super close, but since the weather was beautiful, it let us get some exercise and walk off those fluffy pancakes! It was also neat to check out the different fire trucks and ambulances.
After breakfast, Nora ended up taking a monster nap and missed out on the 4th of July parade that the town puts on. I'm sad she missed it because she would have enjoyed it. Evie definitely did! It was a fairly slow parade with not that much going on but it was still fun to see some old cars and get handed free candy. The best part though, was after the parade - we got some pie from the Pie Booth at the Centennial Days Festival/Farmer's Market. Yum! nothing says summer like berry pie!
