Before leaving town we took a sleighride through the Elk Refuge. We got the last ride just in time before the sun went down. It was only something like 18 degrees so we bundled up with blankets. There are something like 3000 elk three roaming around.
They are very amazing creatures.
So are these two!
Rare to see thesee two actually getting along. Some how being around animals puts Blake in a good mood.
She is so cute! She was very quiet on the ride but as cute as always.
The females which are called cows stayed on one side and the bucks or males stayed on the other side.
Grandpa and Grandma were super bundled up. We thought Grandpa was a little silly but probably warmer than the rest of us.
Blake thought it was pretty cool to see them sparring, especially since he takes a sparring class at Taekwondo. The sounds of their antlers hitting each other was really cool. 
They let the kids pet the horses that pulled the sleigh. I thought the ride was super bumpy. Apparently I had the worst spot in the back of the sleigh because no one else thought it was bumpy at all. I really appreciate no one offering to take my seat for me that knew it would be the worst spot, especially since I was the one with the camera.
Hailey was styling Grandpa's wind blown hair on the bus ride back to the visitor center! Grandpa rockin the Mowhawk!
