Valentine's Fun! with UPDATED PICS!!

Kim took pics with her camera phone and figured out how to get them to her computer, so here they are...
This is Britt and Keyton petting the bull elk that was rubbing up all over them.
Elk eating the hay. They were getting close to losing their antlers.
The sound that it makes when the bull elk hit their antlers together is really neat. To me its a very peaceful sound.

We decided at the last minute to go to Victor, ID and ride a sleigh to see the elk. Well I was hoping the clouds would go away and the sun come out so it would be warm enough to take Kaycen. When we arrived there were a few clouds but the sun kept breaking through, the wind wasnt blowing so I decided he would be fine. I am SO glad we did go with Britt, Keyton, Dennis and Kim because it was really neat. Keyton thought it was great. One of the bulls came right up to Britt and Keyton and was rubbing his head, mostly his hay buggers, all over their coats and hands. This elk couldnt get enough of them. Good thing they cut his antlers off. I was so mad and forgot my camera at this kodak moment for Keyton. He thought it was great and wasnt scared one bit. Britt got a few pics with his camera phone. I guess we will just have to make the trip again... they said the bulls should start dropping their antlers soon and the females should start calving. Maybe in a month when its a bit warmer. We then went back to Driggs and stopped in at O' Rourks for a bite to eat. YUM! Thanks Britt for a fun Valentine's Day with the kids. We loved it!

That sounds like so much fun! I am so jealous. I had to work all weekend so we went to dinner Friday night while my mom watched Braden and that's all we did. It will be so nice once we can take Braden out.
