First Moose in the Neighborhood (this year)

Our neighbor called us over to his house today to show us something in his backyard. Here is what we saw:

This little one was just around the side of the house.

The momma was lying just far enough around the corner of the house into the backyard that we had to go on the deck to see her.

Isn't that so cool? There are moose sleeping/hanging out about 50 yards from our front door. I don't think we will be getting any visitors to our backyard, unless they can scale a fence! Ken (our neighbor) said they tend to come into town with their babies to get away from the bears. They have had them visit their backyard in years past. I really liked seeing the moose. I hope the bears stay far away!

**Update: Ken just called and told us to look out the front door. The moose were up an moving around.

I used no zoom here because I wanted you to see how close he was to our front porch!

I don't think they liked the sound my camera clicks were making!
