So off we went, 65 miles south of where we were staying. Two and a half hours later...after hitting construction in two different areas and being stopped for close to an hour in one spot...we finally made it! Ugh! The kids were troopers, though and we were all glad to get out of the car.
This place was pretty cool. We drove through the park first and loved seeing all of the different kinds of wildlife close up. We saw mountain goats, bison, deer, elk, moose, wolves, and of course, bears!
They also have a great petting zoo where everyone can walk through and pet many animals. The boys tried to pet the chickens, however they didn't really want anything to do with them. They did find 6 eggs in the chicken coop. We all got to feed a the goats and deer. That was pretty cool. There were two baby deer, still with their spots, that we could see but not touch. They were so small and very cute.
The park also has 5 small amusement park rides. They are all in one area and the boys just went from ride to ride to ride, over and over. They loved it and so did we! The boys talked about the rides for days afterward.
Another amazing thing we did was take a guided tour through the wildlife park. We rode in a big, open truck/van, where we stood up in the back. We learned a lot about the animals from our guide and got to feed the deer, elk and bears. Feeding the bears was the best. They would all start walking towards the truck when they saw it and would sit up and put their paws in the air trying to get you to throw pieces of bread at them. Some would put their paws on the sides of the truck to get closer and we could throw pieces of bread right into their mouths. Amazing.
What a great day! We all loved the experience and had a lot of fun.
Enjoying every moment!
