Close Encounters of the Moose Kind

So yesterday Chris and I were driving along around 630 on our way home from Grande Prairie Just chatting, when all of a sudden Chris hits the breaks and a big Moose cow walks out in front of us! Behind her on the side of the road is another Moose. They were pretty darn big, and not the least bit concerned looking as they ambled across the road. It's amazing how big they are in person, and these were females, the males then to be an extra 500 to 750 pounds and they have the big impressive rack! It would have been perfect for my mum to be there, as that is just the encounter she was looking for when they last visited! It was very cool to see.
Anyway, our Grande Prairie trip as very productive. We managed to find a stroller and car seat combo that we like, Chris used his birthday gift cert from Mary and Colin at Future Shop to buy an xbox game he wanted, we of course, went to Michaels, but it was just in and out because I knew exactly what I needed and we also got some good shopping done at Superstore. We also managed to feed a Pita Pit craving (for Chris, not me).
Now that it is Sunday we plan to relax and not do a whole lot of anything, except walk the dog, I think.
