July 6, 2025 - Alaska
Reindeer Farm
|
| We started the day with a great breakfast at The Noisy Goose. It's always good. |

 |
|
| Then we went to another family favorite: The Reindeer Farm. It's just southeast of Palmer but on the east side of the Matanuska River. |

The Reindeer Farm on a beautiful Alaskan day. I'm thinking July is the month to fly in Alaska, not August.

| Big turkey. |

Zoey is fascinated by the turkey.

Zoey is not too sure about that baby donkey.

| Yay, Reindeer Farm! |

| A young Moose! The last time we were here a year ago, their Moose named Lucy had just died the week before and the staff was sad. But now they have a new moose. |
| |
 |
|
|
One of the caretakers sprays the moose with water on this hot day (for Alaska).
|
| |
 |
|
| The water energizes the young moose. |
| |
 |
|
| The new moose is eating his favorite food. |
| |
 |
|
| A shaggy Highland Cow. |

One thing I like about the Reindeer Farm is that they have a lot of things for the kids to do. And every time we come there are new things. Like this ride.

| A good look at Pioneer Peak. |

|
Another new thing was this inflatable bounce bag -- I don't really know what to call it.
|
| |
 |
|
| This one made me nervous. Our little girls could easily get propelled off this thing if the bigger girls jumped too hard and created a wave. |
| |
 |
|
|
There goes Zoey!
They did have a staff member on watch at left.

| Well, you gotta have Reindeer at a Reindeer farm. |
| |
 |
|
| |
| |
 |
|
| We've been here before when the reindeer antlers were shedding. It was not a pretty sight with strips hanging off and blood showing. But today they look very healthy. |
