A very Hoppy Field Trip, Mate !


 We visited the Fall City Wallaby Ranch
It's an amazing place where you can get to meet
Wallabies (including albino), Kangaroo, and Wallaroo

They are marsupials, which means they raise their
babies in a pouch. click for more info

They have been raised as pets, and are really tame--

The owner and our guide is Rex Paperd

This mother kangaroo is so trusting she lets us peek
at her baby (called a Joey) in her pouch !

We learned a lot today!

We stopped by Snoqualmie Falls for lunch...


took lots of pictures....the Lodge behind us is the Salish,
formerly known as the Snoqualmie Falls Lodge,
and featured in the TV series "Twin Peaks"

We marveled at the size of the waterfall...
