I can't sleep

Random Moose shot from our Alta hike a month ago. We've seen moose almost every time we've been in Little Cottonwood this summer. A few nights ago when on a very fun hike with the Creers we saw a momma and baby moose! We always see some deer and did I mention we saw a coyote earlier this week as we were driving up, we slowed down, and with no worries in the world, it was a little deliriously just strutting across the road, almost against our car. Did you all know my husband is a moose magnet (and wild turkey and deer, but mainly moose). If you want to see a moose, bring AK along and it's a guaranteed moose-spot. He's nearly run one over, lucky the moose awoke and got up, or else he really would have run right over it! (Summer 2002, Big Emma at Snowbird with Kate, Harrison, Holden, and baby Weston! don't we have those pics somewhere?)

I got this quiz from my darling friend Mandy Davis from Phoenix/Interact days. Yet another one, I know, but here goes...I changed # 2 because it was kind of creepy, otherwise this quiz is random enough and different. Let me know if you fill it out and post.
