Northwest Trek Animal Zoo

Our close friends, Brian Alt & Patti Carlisle, moved from Fort Lewis back home to Texas in February. We were all supposed to vacation together this summer but, when we bought the house and cancelled the vacation, they came to our house this month for their vacation for a week. We've missed them and we're glad they decided to come out. We were very busy this week: Northwest Trek Animal Zoo, downtown Seattle and the underground city tour, Columbia Valley Winery, 4th of July on the Tacoma waterfront.....



Jacob and Walker showing how totally excited they were to be there!



The four of us..... (the other two are on vacation somewhere in the country!)



Herd of Elk....Eric's favorite. He, again, had a fit when I wouldn't let him bring his rifle! I don't think he understood that, even though it's hunting season, this doesn't apply to the zoos.



Walker couldn't get over the horns on this guy!



It seems like the view is perfect from anywhere in Washington!



This particular zoo is filled with only North American animals such as the Bison.
