A special morning visitor

This morning the kids slept in...it never happens. Sleeping is means waking up between 7:30-8:00, but I'll take it, and I think it was a wonderful gift from them. I was in the kitchen making breakfast when I heard our littlest dog, Oma outside barking. I looked out the window and saw we had a visitor. She safely crossed Hwy 57 and came into the yard despite the little dog yapping at her.  As Kyle called Oma inside I grabbed my camera and slowly walked outside. Kyle got the kids by the window and we all enjoyed watching the moose pass through our yard. Our Ryker declared he was a little disappointed it wasn't a reindeer, and told us he wished moose could fly. 

It's not everyday you have moose pass through your yard. No matter how many times I've seen moose, they still amaze me and I stand in awe at one of God's magnificent creations. Living in N. Idaho is such a fun place to be raising our boys!

Here are a few pictures I was able to snap...
