While Brayden finishes his 327th book of the trip, the girls get to work on making some bracelets. I'm happy to see the commercial size washers, but as I shove all the clothes in there I think maybe I am overloading this thing. I put my money in and hope for the best though! I'll gladly pay a couple extra bucks to not be hanging out doing laundry all day.
After about $8 in quarters the clothes were just about dry but all I had left was a 20 dollar bill. I apologized to the owner as I handed it to her for change and she handed it back to me with an extra quarter to get them dry. It is wonderful for my kids to see such kind people exist in the world! I quickly folded all the clothes and we stuffed them into my car. I looked out over the harbor and noticed how dark the sky was so we made the executive decision to head to the library. We talked about our good luck picking the day before to explore the island!
The kids all grabbed a stack of books and magazines and hunkered down for the storm. I hopped on the wifi to update the blog and monitor our weather conditions. There was a giant band of rain coming and I was just happy to be inside something other than our tent! I must have read 15 books by the time the rain stopped! Brayden is getting to the age where he's too old for picture books but I keep catching him looking as I turn the page and smiling at all the funny parts even though he's reading another book. That just went by way to fast. Before I know he's not even going to talk to me about what he's reading anymore!
Once the rain stopped we discussed our options for the afternoon. The kids decided to go feed some deer at Deer Ranch. Of course the fawn elicited the most "awwws" and "so cutes" of the day.
We bought a package of crackers and cup of carrots to feed the older deer. They were following us around so it must have been the good stuff!
We walked around the enclosure a couple times to make sure to see everyone. There were a few other enclosures housing a bunch more deer, but we couldn't see too many as it was more of a forest habitat. We did spot a white deer which I didn't even know existed! Or perhaps it was an albino deer?
After much debate in the gift shop over souvenirs, we left empty-handed to discover another park. This one reminded me so much of my childhood with a see saw, merry go round, and monkey bars.
Oh, and I can't forget the metal slide! I remember slight burns in the summer time on the backs of my legs in Florida!
The sky started to darken again so I checked my phone and it looked as though we had another band of rain coming within a couple hours. We headed back to the campsite for some pizza on the grill. The girls met some new friends to play with while Brayden had some guy time in the tent with his coveted Legos and I could sort through the laundry. 
Once the wind started picking up we headed to the tent to read and wait out the storm. I peeked out the window once it to check the sky and remembered I wanted to take a last picture of the bridge all lit up before we left in the morning. Without my tripod or monopod I knew it wouldn't be spectacular other than a great reminder of our time here.
We fell asleep to the light pitter patter of rain on the tent with our fingers crossed for no crazy storms.
