Field Trip Fun Has Begun!

We started out our weekly field trips at Northwest Trek as we have done the last couple of years. Our thinking is that as it gets hotter in the summer the animals won't want to come out. Well, this time they were all sleeping, so we say a lot of ears and backs and things that were probably really rugs, but thankfully the kids don't know the difference. Owen is growin'. His hand is almost the size of a black Bear's front paw.

We were lucky enough to see the elk cooling off in the water. I got some great shots and this was one of the best with their reflection off the water. It was quite fun. We saw a lot of animals early on in the tram ride so Owen got bored towards the end when there weren't so many animals to see.
