Visiting the Elk Ranch - 8/11

Grandpa found an elk ranch locally that allowed visitors to tour the facilities and pet the elk. He decided to take all of us cousins to visit the elk. I have never seen an elk up close so this sounded like fun.

 

We listened to the lady teach us about the elk and then got to try on a set of horns.

 




























I had so much fun hanging out with Tessa.

 























Then she passed around part of an elk hide so we could feel it.

Then we got to go outside and see the baby elk. They were so friendly and walked right up to us.

 

We even got to pet the big daddy elk through the fence...until I sneezed and scared them off.

There were little goats we could pick up and pet. I tried to pick them up but they were still pretty heavy. I wanted to take one home. They were so cute.

We had so much fun. I want to go back! Gread idea Grandpa, thanks!
