Last Friday all of the 1st graders were suppose to go on a field trip to Hardware Ranch to see the elk, but they had a pipe freeze and had to cancel the trip. (can't have 100 1st graders without a bathroom...doesn't work) Scott was really bummed when he got home, so we got up on Saturday morning and decided to go as a family.
Closeup of this cuteness. Seriously!
So they have a trailer on sleighs pulled by the horses. They have a farm out there, but the elk aren't caged in. They feed them hay so they can come if they want to. They had 500 elk that morning.
These were the horses behind us and I was joking with Hailey that they were rockstars with their bangs and blonde hair like her. She thought that was pretty funny.
We also got to pick up some antlers in the visitor center and see just how heavy these things are! Crazy they don't tip over!

It was almost naptime for Jay so he didn't quite make it.
so adorable!
We packed lunch so we got to have a picnic and the kids got to play on the snow hills. When we got home the girls were having fun playing in the house and Scott and Kevin were outside in the garage. Kevin found an old snow blower and he was letting Scott take the entire thing apart so he could learn all about the engine and how it worked. As you can imagine Scott was having a blast with that! It was a fun Saturday for sure! Can't wait for winter to be over so we can start doing fun things again!!!
