Moose in the Backyard

Yesterday we looked out back and saw some moose in the back of our yard. It was actually right outside our fence. It looked like a mama and some babies. This view is from Megan's upstairs window.

Curtis stood at the window dreaming of getting his bow out! But he said they were too small. It would only be a couple hundred pounds for our freezer. He'll wait for the big daddy!They ran out from behind our house and ran for the road. They caused a little traffic jam. I hope I never get used to seeing the wild animals; it is too amazing to find it normal!

Very cool! I heard the mothers can be very protective and dangerous. What mother wouldn't be?!

I miss seeing all the wildlife that we could in California. We always had deer around and some wild turkeys. Moose would be really cool.

I LOVE the David Archuleta song!!! Isn't it sooo great seeing them? I don't think you'll ever get used to it....no way! They are just WAY to big and cool for that. It is so cool that you got to see 4 together. That isn't very common! See you soon!
