After we had gotten up so EARLY on Saturday for Austin to take that test at school, we found out it is next weekend! But it gave me a funny story....I had left Austin at his school because a coach said the test was in the gym. I headed back out to the highway (the gate next to us is closed on the weekends). As I was getting close to the exit, my phone starts ringing. My purse was in the floorboard on the passenger, so I couldn't answer until I had gotten off the highway. So instead I got a voicemail with Austin telling me that it is next weekend followed up with a shocking yelp. He knew he should walk back out to the street so I didn't have to go all the way into the school, his school is down a wooded drive. As he was walking he heard a rustling and saw a big brown something out of the corner of his eye... and let out a surprise yelp. It is the season for bears to be out foraging for the last bit of food before the hibernate... this is what he thought was coming out of the woods at him. I would probably be jumpy too!! Instead, it as a baby moose... which could be just a dangerous. Mommy moose was nowhere to be seen, but that doesn't mean anything. They can be a mile away and still hear their baby! That's a mom for you!! :O)
