Loving the Outdoors and the Elk

Last week our friends Adam and Marci invited us to go to their family's cabin up at Flamming Gorge and spent the night. It was lots of fun and Luke loved playing around out in nature. The guys decided they wanted to go fishing so Marci and I took the kids up to walk around on the trail by the lake before it got too late. Luke LOVED going up and down that trail, he was cruising it and wouldn't walk, he had to run! I tried to stay close behind him and luckily we didn't have any falls.

In the cabin there was an Elk head. Luke was obsessed with it! He kept pointing and grunting and yelling at it. Cory made the mistake of lifting him up and letting him touch it once, after that it was all over, all Luke wanted to do was to be lifted up to touch that thing! He loves animals, maybe he didn't understand that this one wasn't actually alive? :)

We stopped at the visitor's center at Flamming Gorge on our way home and Cory couldn't resist getting Luke this Elk stuffed animal in memory of the Elk head at the cabin Luke couldn't get enough of. He loves this stuffed animal. He has many stuffed animals and he loves to play with them, this one has joined the group of his favorites.
