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.

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! |

These white flowers were everywhere.
Then on to the walking tour.

Mason & Jack touching the animal pelts  I think Jack wanted to walk by himself.  they found a caterpillar!   Bear bum...this is the only view I got from him/her |

Hedwig? Golden Eagles   |
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!
Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you'd never been before! I remember going in elementary and middle school for field trips. Mini-cans of 7up...good memories.
I like NWT, but can't stand that the bald eagles are tethered to the ground. It's so wrong.
Funny that the closest they got to wildlife was a caterpillar.
