Going stir crazy w/ the Utah winter cabin fever, we had to get out this weekend, so the Bagley's decided to go up and feed some Elk.... Yes we fed Elk, even though Rita kept calling them Reindeer. :) Up neer Logan Utah, there is a preserve called Hardware Ranch where they feed a wild Elk herd 3 tons of hay daily. This year due to the large amounts of snow that northern Utah has received, there is an enormously large herd. It was cool to see 600 + elk, but the coolest thing was to see so many bulls. I counted at least 50. I kept thinking how great it would be to see it behind a scope, but my day on Monroe will come. The best thing about the trip was how excited the kids were in seeing these great creatures. We live in an electronic world, were kids can be pluged in 24/7 (nintendo, ipod, videos in and out of the car, game boys, etc). It really felt great out into the fresh air as a family and not have a plug attached to the fun. Our oldest still thinks that video games are 2nd to none when it comes to fun, but we'll see if we can change that... We had fun and the nice sunny weather was an extra bonus as well. March 21st here we come!!!
