Spencer Island

This afternoon we headed out to a new place we've never explored before. Spencer Island is part of the Snohomish River Estuary Watertrail and has many trails and boardwalks to explore. We saw fire ants, grasshoppers, dragon flies, hawks, ducks, fish jumping out the water, sunken boats and many different flowers and grasses. Unfortunately, we didn't get to explore every nook and cranny of the island so we'll have to visit it another time.

Exploring the boardwalks.

Didn't see much water but did see a lot of this stuff.

The weather was perfect. Not too sunny but not too cold either.

Ducks!

One of three sunken vessels.

We watched this hawk circle the island.

The hill was crawling with these ants.
