On the Football Field

I drive past the Roosevelt Arch every day to drop Tuck off at school. One of the hardest things to get used to up here is the grey cloudy days of winter.
 
 
Then you see this.
 
 
Where else do you see these guys on the football field? It reminds me of a funny, true story from this summer. Tuck's scout troop won the service award in Montana. They picked up over 5 tons of bison poop off of the school campus. Only in Gardiner.
 

A River of Elk

Living in a National Park, I am used to seeing wildlife. I do always try to stop, take a moment, and just enjoy the animals. They are immensely beautiful and I hope I never get to the point when I forget to take time to really see my surroundings.
 
Every once in a while even I see something that makes me stop dead in my tracks.
 
We were on our way up to snowboard and I looked over and slammed the brakes on the car. I yelled at the boys to look!

I have never seen so many elk running in a long herd together ever!
 
I have posted pictures of Tuck snowboarding but never of myself. Here is proof of the madness! I was told by my instructor "older people" don't usually take up snowboarding. Great! I really love being reminded of my age!
