We took the kiddie's to Hardware Ranch, to see the elk & go on the sleigh ride. It has been a few years, I thought the kids would like it. We needed to some family bonding anyway. (Doesn't dad look thrilled?)

I had heard of people having to wait in line for an hour, so we were lucky there weren't lines at all. We got right on & were taken out in the field on a big sleigh pulled by two beautiful work horses. Our driver was fun, very informative & easy-going. We learned all kinds of new things about elk. They are pretty amazing creatures, the kids enjoyed being so close.

Allie was her typical, full-of-it self. She is such a little nut! The kids were all really good, they had fun & it wasn't too cold out.

We were lucky enough to have aunt Heather with us too. Life is always funner with aunt Heather around! We love it when she comes up from SLC to spend some time with us.

One of the "big boys" - it was a fun day we were able to spend together as a family...
