Sometimes when we go to the lake house we see a deer or two...other times it feels like we see every kind of wildlife there is. That's what happened this last weekend! We felt like we saw everything that lives up there...eagle, moose, deer, raccoon, turtles, and all the other little creatures we usually see.
This is the bald eagle that loves to be in one of the trees down by the water. He always lands on the same branch of the same tree. Sometimes we see his friend but usually he's alone.
Mom had seen the moose a couple of times before we got to the house. The first night we were there we thought we saw it so we went down by the water to get a better look and there was the mom and her two babies sitting in our neighbor's yard. Luckily there is a fence between us otherwise we probably wouldn't have felt very safe!
We watched them for quite awhile. They snacked on the neighbor's flowers while keeping an eye on us but didn't seem to be too concerned. Eliza's reaction was to say "oh, gosh" every couple of seconds as we watched them. I can only blame myself because I must have said it at one point for her to be repeating it for the next three days!
Darran and Dad had taken the canoe out for awhile when we saw the moose from the house. Then they come paddling up to the shore only to see the moose standing there! They took their time and watched as we watched from the house. Pretty awesome to see so many animals...we're proud to say they like our yard. Who knows if we'll see them again!

I like that picture of Eliza on the new swings! Those are fun pictures of the animals too. Happy Birthday (late)!
So cool! There's just something cool about a moose.
