Bison, moose and deer....oh my!

On July 17th we took a trip back over to the Seattle area to visit with Ron's mom. It was only fair now that Matt was here on vacation to take him over there with us to have some fun!! Ron had planned the trip a few months in advance and was planning on spending most of the weekend out at Pacific Raceways for the NHRA races. So the kids and I were at Grandma's disposal for the weekend. :) Once again we were all spoiled rotten and had a great time! What a fun weekend!!

On Friday we started off at Northwest Trek. This is a wildlife park where animals are free to roam about in their natural habitat. It was gorgeous!! I have to admit that I was skeptical about this place, but it turned out to be amazing. We took an hour long tram ride where you tour the park and see all the wildlife. The kids LOVED riding on the tram! It was pretty amazing to see the animals up close.

Saturday we went to Point Defiance Zoo. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately I didn't take too many pictures because I was dealing with a cranky baby most of the time. :) The zoo puts on a wildlife show using trained animals. It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it!




Sunday was our final day to spend with Grandma. We debated on going to an amusement park, but decided instead to go to the beach. It was a heck of a lot cheaper and we got to spend some quality time together.
