Cory and I were woken up on Thursday by Lily running into our room shouting, "A MOOSE! A MOOSE! THERE'S A MOOSE IN THE FRONT YARD!" We all jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to see this outside the window:
We had seen a moose on the side of the road one other time earlier in the week but had not seen one up close like this. It was amazing! He stayed in the front yard eating flowers for a long time before moving on. We were all sad when he left... I think we could have watched him all day long!
The kids had begged all week to go into town and do the Tumble Bubbles. We didn't have much to do so we agreed to go and see if they were busy. Luckily for the kids, there was no line at all! They all 6 got to tumble at the same time. And because there wasn't a line, they all got a little extra time in the bubbles!
After the bubbles, we went on a very short "hike" to see a man made structure that we had heard about. It was quite interesting!
The structure was close to a park we used to take the kids to when they were little so we went and walked around for a few minutes. The kids have definitely outgrown this park! This balance beam was the only thing that they could play on!
Tonight when we got home, guess who was back?!?! And he brought a friend with him! This time, the moose were in the back of the house. They stayed for a very long time eating and resting. At one point, one of the moose lay down in the yard. We thought they might spend the night in our yard, but they finally got up and left.
Watching the moose so close up (not just once but twice in own day) was truly one of the highlights of the whole trip! That is definitely something we never see in Texas!
