Camping and Spotting Moose

This past weekend, we went up to our camper parked in , yep, you guessed it, Circle Park. We stayed the night, got up for breakfast and discovered our dog was missing. So we went out looking for her and Michael's brother Bret drove up. I guess he's lucky to have around because we found her within minutes! She was treeing squirrels! (Or they were pretending to be treed just to tease her!) We had to move our trailer, so we brought it up by Bret's in the Hazelton area. We went for a little hike Saturday afternoon to get the kids sleepy and Annisia was asleep in my ERGOcarrier before we got out of the campsite! Jonathan fell asleep within about 20 minutes, so we came back to the campsite. Now, do you think you could sleep like this?!

Later, we went up Hazelton Rd to fish in the Powder River. We saw these moose on the way, just milling around the willows and munching. Pretty big paddles, don't you think? Nichole, you just have to come visit us.

Uncle Bret is showing Jonathan how to fly fish. Jonathan thought the whole thing was pretty cool. Bret caught a 10 inch rainbow trout, held it out for Jonathan to touch, and just when he was going to touch it, Bret thrust it out and said, "Rowr!" You should have seen Jonathan jump! Needless to say, he didn't want to touch any other ones!!

Do you see Michael in the background sneaking up on the fish?

On the way back, the moose were still there. Sorry about the dark photo, but these are some nice sets of antlers.
