Montana-the wildlife

This post is mostly for my blog book along with one of the next ones.

One of the neat parts of Montana is seeing the animals. You can really spot a lot if you keep an eye out. Nothing like seeing animals walking in the yard in the morning. Most of these were taken in my Aunt and Uncles house.Something I don't think of when you say Montana is frogs or little lizards but they are there and so cute.I caught one jumping. Its blurry but I love its little skinny legs.They have wolf spiders. Yuck. They can get pretty big and they stand on their hind legs and jump. Talk about creepy. This one was a "little one" as my Aunt Audrey put it, about as big as a biscuit cutter.Wild Turkeys.
They have these crazy orange grasshoppers.This was my little bunny friend. They have quite a few little bunny rabbits running around but this one would always hang out in the same area and watch me while I talked on the phone. My cell phone would only get reception in certain areas of the yard so we hung out a lot.This was in a neighbors yard. A mommy and her twins. We saw them almost everytime we went out.Antelope while we were on the road.
Elk in a field. We were going 70 when I took this picture but you get the idea.We went to Prairie Dog town. This one was a little curious and was coming up to the car. The kids thought it was so funny when they got freaked out and chirped and wagged their tails at us.This is the same one who came up to the car.


Just had to take this pic, notice they are not on the sidewalk. :) We didn't see any rattlesnakes or bear or moose. We saw all three last trip but not this one. Maybe next time.

Love all the wildlife pictures - glad you had such a good time. Hope to see you soon. With all the traveling and kids events things have got to settle down. Conley is starting soccer again and so I will get you a schedule. We would love to come and visit and see all your hard work with the new house. Let us know when you want the dishwasher and stove. Talk to you later, Kerensa
