Day 5 Northwest Trek

After a long, fun day I journeyed back to Lacey with my youngest brother and his family. The next day we had plans to go to Northwest Trek. I had never been and they had a season pass for it. Yeah!

We started with the Tram Tour.





The top of Mt. Rainier



Kyra & Jack

Buffalo resting in the grass. Did you know that female have C shaped horns and males have L shaped horns?

It was a warm day. The animals weren't very active.

the smart ones were laying in the shade!

pronghorn something...goats? deer?

There's a mama moose in here somewhere...not sure where though...

I spy...antlers. 

Looking down on the buffalo.



Mason, Jack, Joy & Kyra

This must be where Rudolph hangs out in the summer. I think I saw Donner, Blitzen & Prancer sitting in the shade.

ahhh...take a deep breath and enjoy the scenery.



Then we had lunch before taking the Walking Tour.

pretty patriotic flowers

These white flowers were everywhere.

Then on to the walking tour.



Mason & Jack touching the animal pelts

 some mangy looking wolves.

I think Jack wanted to walk by himself.

they found a caterpillar!

Bear bum...this is the only view I got from him/her





THAT is an ancient tree!



Hedwig?

Golden Eagles

Bald Eagles

River otters

We stopped at Costco on the way home to pick up pizza for dinner. Then Joy & Kyra took me to see Cars 2 3-D. It was a fun day!
