A day out .....

Today we decided to go to a St. Louis County Park ... Lone Elk Park. Its a park that has quite a bit of wild life, some of which you can get out of your car and take pictures of, some you need to stay in your car and just drive thru .... The Bison area you need to stay in the car and they have it posted that Bison have been known to damage cars .... scarey huh ... We drive thru the first time and see some turkey, my MOM gets OUT of the car to take pictures .... the entire time I'm telling her its NOT a good idea ... anyway, we didn't see any Bison so all was well, but still ... the sign said .... ugggg

Turkey pictures ....





We found some more turkey and got some great shots, then we found the Elk .... some females first ... they were right by the road and apparently they think they own the place since its "named after them" We got some good pictures of the females and they walk behind the car, Austin is watching out the window at them and yells "UM MOM .... Its chasing us" (I'm not even doing 5mph) I look in the mirror and the darn B!tcH KICKS my car!! She walks around the car and my mom continues to take pictures. Mom says to her "Thank you" and she (the elk) just looks at her. My mom says "Did you really kick the car?" and the darn thing comes charging at my mom. She screamed and jumped back practically on my lap. We about died laughing ... that thing was total attitude ... Here's a picture of her .....





So we drive on and find the "men" Dad and I get out and take pictures of them ... amazing, they were very laid back ... and even NAPPING!








This squirrel looks like he's taking a shit .... yes, I say he ... only a man would be bold enough to do that in public ...



I'm not sure what kind of bird this is, but thought he looked kinda cool



and maybe this is just my warped sense of humor, but I found this kinda funny



Hope you enjoyed our day out ...
