Northwest Trek--family reunion continued ...

The day (I think) after we returned from camping, we headed over to NW Trek Wildlife Park in Eatonville to, "experience captivating Northwest wildlife" (as their site advertises:).

I think this picture shows everyone present, except for picture-taker Allison, my spunky, blonde sister-in-law. Unfortunately, there is hardly a picture of her to be found in the entire post, or in the one previous--a mystery I'm still trying to puzzle out. Part of the group had already left town or were busy at work.



First, we walked around and checked out some exciting animals ...
An owl ...



Uh, a badger ... Maybe ..



A lively otter ...



Two bald eagles ...



And a very large bird;) ...



A coyote ... I think ...



And a scary looking bear wearing a BYU hat.



Then we went for a ride on the tram and saw more animals ...

These are not animals, just kids (don't be confused)



Still no ...



And no again.
BTW, the guy in the back is not some stranger trying to sneak into the picture, but is in fact the father of the two cute granddaughters in g-ma & g-pa's laps.



I like this picture because it kind of gives an idea of what the tram looked like.
Oh, and still not animals, although on occasion I feel quite bear-ish.



Finally, here is Porter with ... Um ... Elk?



I was gonna say buffalo, but I'm pretty sure it's a bison ...



Cute little Bambie ...



When we were done taking pictures of wildlife, we snapped a shot of our wild family.



Then we made quick stop in the small children's activity center.



It was almost closing time, and we happened to be the only ones there.



And finally, despite all the great pictures we took there of many exciting animals, these pics are my favorite ...









Regardless of what one may assume from the exhausted bench nappers, it was actually a very serene and slow-paced setting--which was quite nice--and we had a thoroughly wild time (which is completely contradictory to what i just said, but oh well, I guess I'm into puns right now). Until next time, NW Trek.

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010
