Twas' the night before Christmas and the kids had lots of excited energy to burn. So we took them to vist "Moses" the camel and two of Santa's reindeer at Clear Creek Nursery. I had never actually seen a real live camel before. I assumed camels were serious stately fellows, but not this guy. Moses is just 2 years old andvery silly. In fact, he kept jumping and frolicking in circles like an exicted mare!
| The reindeer were not nearly as exciting to watch. I suppose they were resting up for their big trip with Santa later that night. They have very cool antlers and unexpectedly short legs! |
| Oh what fun it is to ride in a sleigh with Grandma and Grandpa Christensen! |
| Inside the nusery's gift shop, it was snowing! Talk about Christmas magic! |
| The kids loved the snow show, a fancy bubble machine set to Christmas music. |
| After visiting the nursery, we went to the old Port Gamble general store. Check out this cool old cash register. |
| The girls loved the penny candy jars. |
Port Gamble is such a charming little sawmill town. I'd like to explore it more.
| Log trucks and ferry boats are very Pacific Northwest and so intriguing to this Idaho potato girl! One of these days I gotta see the log stackers empty their trucks at the mill. |
