Long Weekend

Ryan had Friday and Monday off. On Saturday we went to Northwest Trek as a family. It is kind of like a zoo, but with mostly big animals. It is in a forested area between here and Mt. Rainier. I really liked the surroundings. The have like 350 acres of land that is just for free-roaming animals and you take a hour-long tram ride to see them. We saw big-horn sheep, moose, elk, deer, and mountain goats there. They also have other areas with big cats and canines, which we didn't get a chance to see. We had a good family day out.

Monday we took another field trip to a pumpkin patch and farm.

Here's Kim's first choice of pumpkin. It changed about 5 times after that.


Glade LOVED the animals. He especially followed the goat around. (Sorry about the poor picture quality. Here's where the camera finally died and we started using a cell phone.)


He also thought these chickens were very interesting.
