An Early Morning Wake Up Call!

First, I want to thank Glenda for the wonderful pictures! These were all taken with her camera!

Don and I were still sleeping when we hear a knocking on the side of the motorhome. I'm thinking who can that be, and I ignore it. Then again, there it is again...knock, knock, knock. I turned to Don and said "someone's knocking on the side of the motorhome". Duh! We finally opened the shade and then the window and there was Ray standing outside. He told us to quietly look out the window on the other side. I got up, looked and all I saw was our awning (on the window). We both went to the front and looked out and there was a female moose. I looked a little farther and there was another moose. Then I grabbed my camera and realized it wasn't just two female moose, but a Mamma and baby moose! That was too cool! You can look at the picture and see that they're basically in our campsite!

I wanted my film camera which is in the car for when Glenda and I go "moose hunting" so I grabbed my robe and joined Glenda outside who was also in her robe! We made quite a pair! Neither one of us had our hair brushed, obviously no make-up either...we looked charming I'm sure! We both had fun taking pictures though!

We were trying to get them to turn their heads but I think we ended up scaring them instead as it wasn't long before Mamma snorted, got up and headed across the road. The calf was right behind her! They crossed the road and headed down the mountain on the other side! We probably had been taking pictures and watching them for about a half an hour! What an amazing morning and so exciting as well!

Ray was worried that we would be upset at being woken up; when they saw the calf, Glenda told him that I would probably be mad at him for not waking us up. I told both Glenda & Ray that this was definitely worth getting up for!

So a couple of days ago we had a bull moose walk through, today we had two moose enjoying the grass and lazing around and yesterday we had a buck (deer) entertaining us for the evening! This is a wonderful place to be...especially if you love moose like I do!

**Guess what? Brother Bear II comes out on Aug. 29th! Gotta love the moose (Rutt & Tuke) in that movie! You can bet that we'll own it soon! :-)
