MOOSE!

Christian has been seeing a mama moose and 2 babies in the neighborhood and we actually caught them crossing the road and eating a neighbors tree one evening.  Well,  when Christian and Grace were coming home from volleyball practice what do they find but said mama and babies resting in our yard.  I must admit it was the coolest thing.  Following are tons of pictures as they moved back along the house as the sun moved, got up to eat from the garden (would have irritated me, but I didn't plant it...oh to be a renter!) and moved to the front to snack some more.

Outside the den window






Outside our bedroom window











Headed to the back...eating on the way



Eating the bushes on the side of the yard


Eating the garden










Guess he got tired of stretching his neck!











Headed back to the front


Out the front window




In the driveway


Mama came out from the side and caught Grace and me on the front porch.  Nothing between us so this one and the next are a little clearer.  




Also clearer cause we took these from the upstairs little porch










Headed across the driveway










This really was a very cool experience.  As Christian says it was like being in a Zoo!  We didn't get a picture, but 2 days later we saw them again standing in Fish Creek.  Funny to see the tubers just float on by!
