Elk--No they're Moose!

This morning while eating breakfast, Blaze was whining at something outside. We told him to stop and Bradley looked outside and there were two female Elk outside!! I looked and said, no Brad, those are moose!!
They hung out for awhile and were eating the trees when Kinsey said, look mom, there are 2 more. Sure enough 2 males came follow those 2 females like lost puppies.

There was a big one with large antlers- and a younger one with much smaller antlers. But they all hung around for about 45 min. The kids were so excited and took tons of pictures. Needless to say school started late today. But what a fun sight to see in our own backyard.



After about 45 min. the females had gotten bored and left off into the farmers field next to us. And sure enough those two males followed after them. Isn't that how it always is!!
