Wild Kingdom??



Wow, what a family outing!! We took the kids out of school a little early and headed to Idaho Falls yesterday for Ethan's birthday outing. He wanted to go to "a big city with stores." Honestly, mommy did too!! Anyway, on our way, on the side of the road we saw a small herd of elk, just trotting along the highway. Sheesh, these guys are big!!! Later on just over the Idaho border, there were some baby moose. You can't tell from the picture, but these guys are huge!! Their backs were taller than the hood of the van. They were pretty much looking me in the face through the window!! It was unbelievable..Word is they are getting desperate for food from all the snow, and are coming down and trying to cross the roads. I had NO idea that these animals were so huge. No wonder they do so much damage when they hit a car. The kids thought we were at a zoo. hehe, sometimes, I believe we are!

THAT is so cool! THAT is a reason to love Wyoming!

Glad you got a trip to the big city. A trip to the Wal-Mart never looked so good! :)

Your photos are awesome.

Thank you for sharing that special moment on the Baptism Day. We often stop at the WalMart in IF when we go to the cabin in Ashton. Maybe we can meet there someday. We live in South Jordan, just north of the Jordan River Temple on a small farm, with one dog, several horses and more cats than I have been able to count because they only live in the Hay Stacks in the Barn.
