Fall Trip to Mom and Dad's

Last weekend the kids and I and Janet took a trip to mom and dad to look at the fall colors and try to talk to the elk. Just in case you don't know what it means to talk to the elk, I will explain. This time of year is when the elk are in their breeding season, and if you are lucky you can hear them bugel. My dad has an elk call and we tried a couple of times to get one to answer, but didn't have any luck. We did get to see alot of elk

last weekend though. Friday night we had a 4 or 5 point bull cross the road in front of us. Chance thought that was pretty cool. Saturday morning we took another ride, and saw the elk, but they wouldn't talk. And then Saturday evening we took another walk in the woods, I did hear one bugel a long ways off, but I don't think the kids heard him. It was so windy and cold Sat. evening that it wasn't every enjoyable for the kids.
Chance wanted to go fishing, so Papa took him and Kay down to the neighbors and fished in the stream for a while. Chance caught 2 or 3 little fish, and Kay got to catch 1. Then we went to down to Springer Pond and feed the fish, and they both got to catch a few bigger fish.
The fall colors on the way there were so pretty. Janet was able to get a few pictures while we were driving. And then the other pictures are from a Tree that was at the Pond where we went fishing.
