I often marvel at how fortunate the boys are to have some of the adventures they do... and yesterday was one of the more unique experiences any of us has ever had!
We drove about an hour up into the mountains and watched as our friends with the Division of Wildlife released 6 moose into the National Forest. As I understand it, last year there were several moose relocated from Utah to our neck of the woods. What we got to see was the relocation of several more from another part of Colorado - and that is the end of the project. From here on out I suppose the hope is for the two groups to meet, form a nice happy Western Colorado moose family and thrive right here in our backyard...
There were lots of kids there - either children of DOW officers or their friends... Hamp was equally enthralled with the wild animals and the number of fellow 6-year olds to play with!
Sam was somewhat unsure of the whole event!
Three DOW trailers with moose back into the trailhead...
... and here is one of the bulls...
... and one of the cows...
... and a cow and her calf running off into there new home!
