Northwest Trek

For Mother's Day weekend Megan, Jeremy and the 5 kids came to visit - we had a wonderful time.  Friday we spent some time at the Hands-On Children's Museum, Friday night we celebrated Megan's birthday (last Wednesday), Saturday we spent the bulk of the day at Northwest Trek and Sunday in church!  What a wonderful time we had together.  Here are a few photo highlights of the weekend.

The porcupine became one of our favorites!  Oh - and Jeremy too!!
Majestic and beautiful bald eagles
Regal mountain goat
Large bison
We sat and watched two grizzly bears for quite some time - we enjoyed how close they were
Hyrum had asked us to help us with a school project in taking photos with "Flat Stanley" so we took him along this trip and got lots of great pictures - including this one being "eaten" by a stuffed grey wolf!
We saw lots more animals than shown - river otter, raccoon, wolverine, beaver, bighorn sheep, caribou, barn and snowy owls, golden eagles, deer, elk, lynx, bobcat, cougar, turkey vulture, red fox, grey wolf and some snakes.  The weather was cool and the animals were out! We also saw lots of baby animals which we have never seen at NW Trek before!
