Northwest Trek


Thursday we braved the storm clouds and rain! We met up with some new friends at Northwest Trek. Leila has become good friends with Ian at swim lessons. His Mom is also a first grade teacher, so we have loads to talk about. They invited us and we were thrilled with the play date! This was Leila's first trip to NW Trek. She LOVED the tram ride! Since the weather was on the colder side, ALL the animals were out! We lucked out, as it didn't start raining until we were headed to the exit gates. Notice the winter coats and hats the kids had on...in the middle of JULY! While we were eating in the cafe, the employees started a fire in the huge, stone fireplace. It truly felt like October!

Another tram photo.
This bison was sitting RIGHT next to the tram's path.
I loved seeing all the elk!

Taking a rest in the Discovery Center.

One of our favorite things to do when we visit new places is to check for squashed penny machines. We were in luck! The kids each got two.
Fun! We can't wait to get together with Ian and Colleen again!
