Over the weekend, we got the chance to visit a local wildlife park called NW Trek. It's a wonderful place set on 500 acres of forest and meadow land, and it is home to many native Washington animals. The carnivores and smaller animals are kept in more traditional zoo-like enclosures, but the larger herbivores get to roam "free" in one huge area. The people cue for a chance to ride the tram and try to spot the animals. The baby, having recently ridden another little train, was very excited to go.
First we saw huge bison, and then the sweetest little bison baby, which made quite an impression on our girl. She kept making the sign for "baby" after that one. Next were some bighorn sheep. A large group of them were on the trail as the tram came up, and the scatter right along side, so we could get a really clear look at them. Again the baby was excited, but this time she started making a different sign. For some reason she made the sign for elephant over and over. I have no idea why, but at least she was happy.
