NW Trek

We thought it would be fun to take Ryanne on a mini-adventure for her birthday, so we drove to NWTrek to check out the animals. We did a little walking then took the hour long tram ride through the animal preserve where there are 7 different kinds of wild animals (all herbivores!) like bison, moose, caribou, goats, etc, so close to the tram that you could reach out the window and touch them if you wanted to.
This was clearly near the end of the day and near the end of a now two-year old's patience...

So obsessed with the bears that she couldn't even look at the camera. Her sole goal in going to the park was to see the bears and she was not disappointed - she saw black bears, brown bears and grizzly bears, and GRRRRR-ed at all of them.

Enormous bison from the tram. Ryanne entertained the older couple sitting near us by mooing very loudly out the window every time we saw a bison. This bison is chillin' in a mud bath made from a mixture of dirt and bison urine. Apparently the lady bison can't get enough of it.

...who had fun until he decided the birthday party would be ending early for him.
