Wildlife Prairie Park

We recently went to Wildlife Prairie Park with Pastor Stephen & his wife, Courtney.  We didn't really have time to do this because we had friends coming over to our house for dinner that night but we didnt want to miss out & in the end we were glad we went.  After having a picnic lunch at the little playground we all road the train(15 mins each way) & saw lots of wild deer jumping along the train route.

 We saw 8 deer total & most were babies. We saw a set of twin fawns running through the woods chasing their mom. So cute!  Then we went to the bigger playground & big slide. We all tried it; even our new head Pastor & his wife. 


   It reminded me of the one in Seattle by Martin Johnson's house that we went on 2 years ago. That time our kids just went down the slide. This time they tried to jump up on the bumps to go airborne & it was hilarious to watch. (They both were quite successful at it that one time Brayden went a little too high for his Mommy's liking & I got it on camera. See below)


It did make us all giggle & smile. 






And I bet you know what they asked when they got to the bottom of the slide.  Every time they said, "Can I go again?"


We let them go quite a few times but we were really there to see the animals so we headed that way. Our pastor & his wife go to Wildlife Prairie Park all the time so he knew where the animals like to hang out so he'd run up ahead & try to spot the next animal by the time we got there to make it go faster. We saw every animal!  It was cooler out that day (almost like fall) so I'm sure that helped to see the animals too but it didn't hurt to have our own tour guide (our Pastor) with us.  We saw the Buffalo & elk very close to us. 


The Eagle is always one of my favorites.



The black bear looked like he was waiting for a picnic lunch but instead of the picnic table he uses a log.  

Then we used their props to take some photo opps. Some are more comical than others but that's the joy in children. I never know what I'm going to get. Enjoy!
