Wintering Elk

We went on a great field trip last Friday to Hardware Ranch with my SIL and her kiddos. We had a fun time seeing the elk, and riding the sleigh. We saw TONS of deer on the way back down the mountain. This poor fella- apparently he had a run-in with an electric fence- and brought the fence with him. I guess it'll get untangled when he loses his antlers this spring
Doodle- studying the animalsWe thought this was a nice size animal. Counins C and H along with Bug, Roo and Doodle in front of the horses that pulled our sleigh.
Thanks Natalie! We had a fun time!

I have a great story about H.R. The first time I went, Carter was just 1, and the horse pulling our sled got spooked and took off running! We went on the ride of our lives--I just remember praying the sled wouldn't tip over. One horse actually fell, so the other one finally slowed down. They made us get off the sled very quickly, which was good, because the horses took off again when the 2nd one got up!
