Marissa and I didn't think her sleeping in a tent would help our already horrible sleeping arrangements so we were just there for the evening. Dad cooked us a great dinner and we even roasted marshmallows over the coals.
The boys tried a dip in the freeezing cold stream. We saw a little garder snake slither through the grass.
The boys put up the tent and headed out on a little evening hike.
Morning comes after Tanner bear snores all night and dad cooks a breakfast of pancakes and sausages. While they are eating right where we had dinner the night before, Josh announces "A dad, there's a moose right there." Dad "Yeah right Josh." (Dad couldn't see from his spot because of a garbage can in his view). Then Dawson takes a look and then Dad knows by the look on Dawson's face that something is there.
30 yards away is a great big moose with big antlers. When it started getting closer to them - dad had them run to the car while he snapped a few pictures. Hard to believe that we spent 4 days in yellowstone and didn't see a moose but head to Provo Canyon in our backyard and find this big thing! They had a great time and couldn't stop talking about the moose.

Isn't that the height of irony. Oh well next thing you know there will be a bison in your backyard eating the pumpkins. -Kyle
Awesome! I can't believe the boys saw a moose, so cool! I love the way you told the story too. "Yeah right Josh" :)
I once had a long-running debate with someone about whether moose were 7 feet tall at the shoulder. Where does JD weigh in on that argument?
