Earnslaw

On Saturday, September 23, Katielyn and I to a cruise onthe TSS Earnslaw. It was a nice day, a lil cloudy but no rain...hurray!!! The cruise on the boat was about 45 min to get across to Walter Peak Farm. There is a lil cafe on the boat, and a bar type lounge. We just chilled and had a scone on the way there. At the farm, Pete(our tour guide) took us around the farm, which is still a working farm, which was run by the Mackenzie brothers who owned 170 000 acres of land. Any way we got to feed deer, hold baby sheep, watch a sheep get sheared and watch a dog demonstration bringing in the sheep...was crazy..the dog was like possessed by simple comands and whistles. Was a good day!!!!
