Our primary reason for the road trip into Northern Washington was to visit the Outback Kangaroo Farm. Our girls love animals and we thought it would be a very exciting opportunity to get up close with some exotic creatures. We booked a private tour of the facility so the girls could enjoy the animals at their own pace. Little did we know that we would get to feed, pet and even hold the kangaroos. They are sweet and gentle and surprisingly lazy. It was worth every minute of the drive out to Arlington for such an exciting opportunity!
Here is a video of the visit.

I love that the girls (and their parents) had such a great time, as did my grandkids. Thank you so much for sharing your memories! Kathy
