Into the Wild!

One Sunday, with Mom and Dad and Grandpa, after Paul had BBQ'd us a delicious meal and we had finished eating early we decided to go out to the Kananaskis to enjoy the beauty.  It was a nice easy spot in Sandy McNabb that we decided to get out and walk a little, even though it was sprinkling rain on us.  It was so beautiful and green.  I love all of the different shades of green.

Marshall was so cute running along toward Grandma.  I love the picture here with both of his feet off the ground.

So we walked along this path and it curved around a few trees and had a small meadow.  Right there across the meadow was this Moose and her calf.  So we just stopped and stood and watched them for 15 or so minutes.  It was so amazing to see.  They just looked at us and continued to eat and payed us no attention.  I did hurry back to the cars to get Great Grandpa as this was worth the walk to come and see.

It was so amazing to watch this tiny little moose.  It was so small and such an amazing color.  The girls named it Butterscotch, which was perfect.  The mother did look pretty scraggly, which I appreciated a little, as even Moose look a little rough after just having a baby.  It is hard work.  This baby could only have been a few weeks old, at the most!  What an amazing experience!

I love this kind of picture that can capture a bit of the kids different personalities.  They can be so different in how they approach things and they are so unique, I love to capture it.  Our sweet little family, it will be changing very soon.

On the way home we stopped a few times to capture some birds, including this awesome Great Grey Owl.  Kyndal saw it and guessed that it was a great grey owl, and she was right.  It was on a post right in front of us and then flew across to the other side of us and sat on that post just watching us.  It was such a beautiful creature and a great way to appreciate so many creations on this beautiful Sunday.

This amazing rainbow accompanied us all through our journey and at times there was a double rainbow.  So amazing.  We were so blessed to enjoy all of these things, and together as a family.  A great day!!
