Sunday



These photos were taken Friday on our way home from getting the last final Christmas stuff. I took them with my cell phone so I think the quality was pretty nice. It's so typical that whenever I'm out I see things I wish I could take photos of and I don't have my camera with me! I should get better about this! My cell phone takes pretty good photos but is not great at distance photos. For example, on our way to go shopping Friday we were driving toward Stavsjø, where the kids go to school and off the road in what looked like a semi chopped down forrest I saw FOUR giant looking objects which I swore had ears and I looked closer and swore it was a moose or actually four of them! "Turn around, turn around!" I screamed to Stig...which he did when he found a place to turn into and we drove back and stopped right where I thought I had seen the animals and SURE enough, there laying as peacefully as can be were not one but FOUR kings of the Norwegian forrest- MOOSE!!! I have to tell you, they are such impressively HUGE animals! I am in awe when I see one and here were four of them. Looked like a mamma and her babies, but they were all huge and just laying there wondering what we were doing....I tried to take a photo (several actually) with my cell phone but they were just too far away and my camera just got blurry, the closer I tried to zoom in on them. So sorry, no moose photos for you today but I'll try and be better about taking my canon with me next time and maybe I can get lucky like that again someday!!! It's another reason I hate driving, I can't look around when I am driving and I LOVE to look around- my mom taught us that. Everytime we went on family vacations she was always telling us to look around, "stop fighting with your sister Amy and look out the window......OH Cows!!!" hahahaha....yeah, it went something like that, at anyhoot, I love to look around so when I'm driving I'm a wreck, I have to stay so focused and I feel like I'm missing tons around me!!!!

Our Sunday is starting easy, some coffee and a funny movie, My Cousin Vinny, hillarious! Not sure what will happen the rest of the day but hope you will all have a great day and we will talk again soon....

I have NEVER seen a moose except on our Abercrombie clothes... so I would have LOVED TO SEE this!

I always try and carry my camera in my purse because you never know what you are going to see. The sad thing is when you go to reach for it and the batteries are dead...LOL
I love looking at your fun and beautiful pics and reading about your daily life.
Merry Christmas to you and to all that you love!

It's a real honour to see elk (that's British for moose) in the wild!
