New Years Day was spent frolicking with all the amazing animals residing about an hour south of us -- bison, elk, mountain goats, rams, cougars, wolves, bears, wolverines, owls, and on and on. After an hour long tram ride to see the larger mammals roam -- or rest in most cases -- we spent time wandering the walking paths leading from one animal viewing area to another. In all 723 acres, we crossed paths with about 10 other visitors -- a blessing indeed. Jorja needed to poop in her portable potty right next to the eagle viewing area -- no problem. Anders decided to lie face down in the middle of the walking path and roll around like a bear cub -- go for it. If no one's around, why bother with reigning in toddler twins?

With dried mango in their mouths, Anders and Jorja run full-steam ahead in a race to see who can reach Momma first.
Lovin' Mr. A.
Lovin' Miss J.
Anders livin' out his koala bear fantasies.
