Two new parks we visited

This is Whatcom Falls, a beautiful park that we went to late in the afternoon last Friday. We didn't have near enough time to look around. There were trails and swimming holes everywhere. There are also tennis courts somewhere but the park is so huge that we didn't have time to find them.

This is on the brigde that the falls go under.

I just LOVE you!

This picture is from Hovander Park in Ferndale, about 15 minutes for our house. I only had to work a half day today so I did a little shopping and I found a picnic basket at Target on sale so that inspired me to pack a picnic and surprise Steve when he got home. I had been to this park once before but Steve had never been and it was such a neat park.

This was dessert, and it was delicious. An Andis Mint chocolate cupcake for Safeway......yum.

Our new picnic basket worked great.

Having chicken alfredo, watermelon, baked potato salad, cherries, and chips with dip.

There were gardens everywhere. This is the Hovander House, which people can tour during the day. The gardens were really nice but our camera's battery died so we couldn't take very many pictures which was disappointing but the gardens were cool. They had every kind of vegetable growing there too. They donate the food to a local food bank.

There were all kinds of animals there too, kind of a petting zoo. This is one of the bunnies and it looked so funny. He grew his own pillow:)
