moose!

i have never seen a moose in the wild, and went to yellowstone hoping to see one. not only did we see one, we saw two sets of mamas with their babies and a BULL MOOSE. he was huge, it the middle of the river we were floating, eating river weeds. we really didn't want to get close to him, so we stayed all the way over by the riverbank, but the river wasn't super wide. he didn't seem to care we were there though...

this was one of the mama/baby pairs we saw. we pulled over and watched them for a bit. the baby actually came toward us during the 15 or so minutes we were there. mama, i'm sure, was used to seeing people on the river and didn't seem to concerned about us...

moose selfe...

shane did not mean to be on the moose side of our raft, it just ended up that way. a little to close, but he didn't get head-butted;)

for being together for 10 days straight, these guys did pretty well with each other...

 jesse and lyla paddle boarding. the water was crystal clear, you can't tell from the the pics, it was a cloudy day, but standing above clear water was pretty cool.

i love thees two❤︎  my mom made the comment that going on vacation with your grown children is much more fun than going when they are little, haha. i can believe that!
