Hardware Ranch Trip

Bryce told me last saturday that he had something planned for this weekend and that it was a suprise. I tried guessing all week but never figured it out.

Anyway, Saturday morning he came over and we made a big breakfast-
Complete with:
pancakes, eggs, juice, and bryce's additions: ketsup and peanut butter...of course! oh yeah, and cookies too. lol.
(oh and see those dishes? cute, i KNOW! aren't they!? They're mine and they were worth every penny because they make me happy every time i use them...)
So it was a super yummy breakfast

Afterwards we jumped in the car and he drove, obviously, because I still didn't know where we were going.
He's so cute.... he doesn't like this picture...but i do...he looks happy! :)

We drove south of Logan, into Hyrum and turned east and it brought us into a canyon I've never been in before-it so BEAUTIFUL!!! I took about 80 pics within the 25 minute drive. The first ten mins, there was a lot of fog....I loved it! :)
Like I said, it was beautiful!
A creek ran along the right side of the road-sometimes it was close, like this... everything looked to cool with the snow!

About half way into the drive we saw another car stopped on the road, so Bryce slowed down to see what they were looking at, and we saw these two fellas chillin' on the side of the road. Two Moose!



The canyon eventually opened up a little



The drive itself was awesome enough as a suprise but we eventually ended up at this place: Hardware Ranch. Its a ranch owned by the state of Utah to help increase the Elk population. They feed any elk that come through and they're free to come and go whenever so after several years they've learned that Its a safe place to come and eat and ...not get shot. So they come especially during hunting season.

Anyway, what we got to do though, was take a seigh ride through the area and get really close to the Elk. It was really cool. and super cheap too! five bucks a person!

The horses pulling the sleigh we went on were Cliedstales (i don't know how to spell it!) They were pretty horses. :)

Before we actually went of the sleigh ride we had to go up to the office thing and get the tickets. I had a little Too Much fun while we were there..... :o
Ooooh!

That's the height of the top of an Elk's shoulder.
So while i was makin' out with the Elk, Bryce was getting mauled by a BOBCAT!! Don't worry, he made it out alive.
