Northwest Trek

The day after the 4th of July we took Uncle Josh and the kids out to Northwest Trek to see the animals and check out their zipline course.  Here is my handsome boy ready to explore!    

First we rode the tram around and got to see a lot of animals.  Many of them were right up close to us.

We loved this baby goat.  

We saw some awesome rams (go CSU!).

And some Bison (not to be mistaken with Buffalo - boo CU!)

We even saw a moose from a distance.

 And last of all some elk playing in the water.

After the tram, we walked around and got a snack and got to see some bald eagles which Jack and I both love!

At last it was time for ziplining.  There is a kids course that is good for kids 5 & older.  So I fudged Jack's age a bit and sent them on their way!  Well not really, Dave had to accompany him and Josh went along as well.  So they were supervised, although Kate didn't need it.  I think she could have done it backwards with her eyes closed.  She has no fear!  

Here they are getting their harnesses on:

All geared up and ready to go!

And Kate is off!

And now Jack (with Dave's help).

Josh showing off his agility skills.

The course was a bit small for Josh.  He had to duck down a lot and hold his legs up so they didn't drag on the zipline at the end.

So brave!

Such a fun time!
