So after Tyler got off of work last Thursday, we had some dinner and then drove up to Silver Lake at the Brighton Ski Resort. It's a small little lake that you can walk around and fish from, but just beautiful all the same. Also, I know that a family of moose love to spend a lot of their time there as well and I hoped that the kids would get to see one. Well we were in luck!!!
Just as we were coming around the first batch of bushes you can see there in the middle picture in the background we heard a noise. And there they were, two Moose munching on the bushes. A male with a full rack and a female. We also saw one more when we got around on the other side of the lake but not as close as these two were.
This is when we first spotted the antlers...
Here's the head...
Coming out of the brush...
He's Huge!!!
This is how close we were to the moose...even closer sometimes... Tristan is keeping an eye our for us!!! So cute! Then we continued around the lake took some fun photos and saw some beautiful wildflowers. Josi had to pick them. I only allowed one of each species. I know it's illegal. But she can't pick any at my house and she LOVES flowers.
Other than the mosquito's we had a great time. And the kids have been talking about the mountains and hike for days now.

How fun! I can't believe you guys were so close to the moose! That would freak me out!
The pictures are beautiful Heather! I would've been freaked out by the moose too though. :) Your kids are so darling!
