Nikki & Belle

One of the adventures we took the kids on over the Christmas break was a trip up to see the elk at Hardware Ranch.  An excursion that became even more fun when my sister, brother-in-law, and niece decided to come up for a visit.

It was a gorgeous, sunny day and absolutely FREEZING!  But we braved the Logan temps long enough to take a ride, lose Melese's phone over the side of the sleigh, and ooh and ahh over the animals.

Fortunately our driver, "Cheese-booger" (true story), was kind enough to double back so Ry could snatch it up before a wild animal snatched it up for lunch.

Phew!

As you'll see, the elk weren't the stars of the show,

what really got the kids' attention were the massive draft horses that pulled our sleigh out among them-

their names were Nikki & Belle.

Home again, home again, jiggedy-jig!
