Moo!

Or whatever sound an elk might make! When we were driving outside of Cherokee, NC we came across 3 elk crossing the road... this was probably the highlight of our trip! We'd never seen elk before, and we were a little bit scared since we didn't know how they'd react. In Mississippi, we're used to deer who like to be spontaneous and jump out in front of you at the last minute. Apparently, elk are slightly more laid back. Either that, or these elk were just used to being around cars and the road. They just mosied across the road and started walking down the side of the road, while playfully bucking at each other. Apparently they were youngsters, since their racks were not fully developed and still fuzzy.

This dude was being a show-off and sticking out his tongue for the camera!

Here's his buddy crossing the road.

Now a couple of random pictures:
Here's me and my lil' man after church on my first Mother's Day.

This is the whole family after church on Easter Sunday.
