Tonight, we had dinner with some friends of ours who live way out in the backwoods boondocks of New Hampshire. It's only about 25 minutes from here, but down a dirt road, and they have like 250 acres of lands.

We took Emerson with us, and just let him run free. He had SUCH a blast running and playing. He discovered a running brook and went swimming. Oh he was a *very* happy boy, running and running, and playing. There were about 14 people there, and it was an awesome experience with new people since he is quite timid around strangers. He fell in love with this one girl, and warmed up to her immediately. I so wished I had brought my camera.

So we were leaving, and Mark was driving rather fast for the dirt road. I saw this thing, but couldn't identify it. All of a sudden we were looking at the rear end of a MOOSE, swishing his tail. His antlers were HUGE and were as wide as the road. He was a beauty! This is the first time I have seen a real moose outside of a zoo/wildlife refuge setting. AWESOME!!!! Then I REALLY wished I had my camera with me!!

We had an awesome time, but the mosquitos were HORRIBBIBBLE!! *scratch scratch*

Anyhoo, just wanted to share.
