Curious Elk Came for a Visit

Last night, as we were reading to our kids before bedtime, we looked out the window and saw two elk that came by for a visit.

Needless to say, we all shot out the door for a closer look.

A pic of the elk catching some serious air! 

It was almost dark, so my camera was having a hard time getting a clear picture.  By the time they were almost to the house, it was too dark to use the camera.

"SHHHH!!!! We have to be very quiet!"  My kids did the army crawl in their P.J.'s all the way to the road for a closer look. 

My kids got a better education by what they saw outside, than from the animal story I was reading to them.
