Buffalo, and Elk, and Llamas,and Bears Oh My!

Gotta love Government jobs because everyone had the Monday after the 4th off, so we went to the OLYMPIC GAME FARM in Sequim. It was a first for me and it had been awhile for TJ and his family. TJ's mom and dad rode with us and Kevin drove his family. We were ready to go in...check out who's waiting for us...
These guys were hilarious. They would just stand there and NOT move like it was an assembly line. We were only allowed to feed the animals whole wheat bread. I guess they want their animals to be healthy.
The llamas were a little more bold and stuck their head in a little more. Plus TJ liked to get them in the car. We didn't get a picture of the Elk, but they were the scariest to me because they were so tall and got all up in the car. At the time of the elk I was feeding one and didn't have another piece of bread ready and TJ locked my window so I couldn't get it up!! AHHHHH!!! I was crawling in the middle of the car, squishing Sophia, and practically on TJ's lap. We were laughing so hard. He did that to his mom too, but she didn't think it was as funny, hahahaha!

These deer were cute and would continue to follow the car for bread. This one was TJ's buddy and stayed with him for awhile.

Obviously the bears were fenced in, but you could still feed them. Most of the bears would not even go for the bread if it was not thrown directly into their mouths. I think they were so full or just plain lazy/bored. We got this bear to do a trick and sit up before we gave it the bread. How can animals look so cute, but in reality be so mean?!
The buffalo's tongues are CRAZY LONG! Check that out. TJ liked teasing them to see how long they would stretch their tongue out before giving them the bread!
This is truly the finale...
I didn't really want to play with the buffalo, so I gave what was left of my bread to TJ's dad (which was not a lot). This guy thought he was part of the family...He kept coming closer in and in, but TJ's dad had no place to go. If he would have gotten any closer, the buffalo would have licked him! We were laughing so hard and of course TJ did not move the car forward at all. We were enjoying this entirely too much. TJ's dad said that he stunk really bad, hahahaha! AHHHHHH, I'm still belly laughing looking at this picture...
And if you aren't done laughing yet...here's another one...
After the drive through, we went to the petting zoo. Of course Sophia does not like animals up close and personal...notice there were no pictures of her feeding the animals. She sat in the middle consol between us and through bread out the window or on us if it didn't make it.
It's always nice to do something fun and new...Good times...
