Ben goes Hunting!






I took Avery to a 2-year-old birthday party today and they had rented one of those bounce houses! The party was for Sully - they live up the big hill from us and his mom is Ashley, baby sister is Maddy (Madeline) 5 days older than Adeline. . . isn't that funny? He's been talking about monster trucks all week because that was the theme. We've also been working on potty training more and he's earned a few Bob the Builder toys for #2's.

Anyhow, we've seen deer and foxes run through our yard quite a few times, but today we had the bull elk visit and then graze for a while. They even laid down in the woods next to the seasonal stream while Ben was running around taking pictures - without getting chased :) It kind of reminded us of when Deb was getting close to the bear in our driveway last fall! I actually saw these elk up the mountain on someone else's property a couple of weeks ago, but we didn't think they would come down here. It will be fun to hear them bugle in the fall - maybe Avery and Uncle Dan will give you their impressions while we are in Minnesota. See you soon!

In Michigan they put up signs hundreds of miles away from where the elk actually live to advertise them to tourists. Probably not something that happens in Colorado. You need to start a photo gallery with pictures of all the animals that you've had next to your homes.
