Sometimes we just need to shake it up a bit

We picked Abby up from school and decided we needed some shakes. We enjoyed them as we took a drive through Lone Elk Park.

Accidentally came across some Bald Eagles!

We had to get out of the house for several house on Sunday because we were having an open house. We decided to go check out airplane park and Lone Elk Park. Usually I go to LEP first — but today I decided to check for airplanes. As soon as we pulled in we noticed a long cable laying on the ground at the first flying area. We’ve never seen this type of airplane so we decided to stop and watch. The closer we got we realized there wasn’t a plane attached to the cable but instead A BALD EAGLE!!! The folks from the World Bird Sanctuary were there training two of their Eagles. It was such an awesome thing to see!

Monday was a good day

I love going to Lone Elk Park when it snows. It is so much easier to see all of the wildlife. Abby loves seeing all of the footprints. We got to see quite a bit on this day. The pond was frozen so we talked about the prints we noticed there. I thought that it was pretty neat how the animal prints never tried to walk across the deep parts. How do they know?? Most of the prints were along the edges. Some were across the more shallow areas. It was cool

We got to see geese and one deer. Then we ran across some bison. And finally, right as we were leaving the truck in front of us stopped – and there they were ELK!!! One had a rack on his head that had to be as tall as me. Just beautiful!
