Wallaby Ranch

Wyatt's preschool took a trip to the Wallaby Ranch in Fall City last week and it was so much fun! We watched a slide presentation on the development of a baby wallaby from conception to around 6 months and then got to explore the property and look at wallabies, wallaroos and kangaroos. We even got to pet a few of these adorable creatures, including an 8-month old wallaby named Leonard. Wyatt was in the thick of things every time a petting opportunity presented itself, while Sam was his usual cautious self and preferred to view the cuteness for the most part from a distance.

Here the boys are meeting Leonard. Even Sam (red coat) got in the action and there is Wyatt upfront and center (blue coat).

Leonard's fur was really soft and his feet looked like chicken feet.

This kids also had a chance to feed the wallabies through the fence.

The owner, Rex, had a special relationship with this wallaroo that he called his "girlfriend".

Miss Terri and Wyatt pose for a picture with Leonard...

Rex feeds the red kangaroos- the largest of any kangaroo species.

The Wallaby Ranch breeds rare albino wallaroos. Here you can see baby sticking out of mom's pouch.

This is a group photo of Wyatt's preschool class along with a few siblings and their teachers- Miss Terri and Miss Amy. Can you tell Wyatt was told to use antibacterial as soon as we cleared the barn doors? He's still rubbing it in in this pic.
