Our Encounter with a Furry Friend...
Posted in Family Fun
In my previous post I mentioned how we met a 'new friend'
during our 'photo session' at the pier.
As we were wrapping things up and getting back into the van
we noticed something walking by... a raccoon.
We were all very excited to see one so close up.
Ally grabbed the camera and started following it...
Ally was thrilled that it let her get so close...
It kept looking up, right at Ally.
The children and I watched from the van for a bit
and then we all got out to join Ally in the fun.
After its drink, it headed toward the marsh...
The children and I watched it as it travelled through the marsh grass...
We enjoyed watching it until it was out of our eye view.
We were a little surprised how it didn't seem to be afraid of us,
but we still kept a pretty safe distance.
It was fascinating to us to see one so close up
and to follow it, seeing what it would do.
It was a wonderful closure to our trip yesterday!
We were very thankful to have the opportunity
to observe such a creature!
