A Mama & her baby

I should have known today would start out as a good day with a beautiful autumn Alaskan sunrise like this...
Because as we were driving to preschool, the kids and I got to see our first moose and her baby.  They were gorgeous and precious to watch.  
I couldn't believe that they were just there.  Just grazing along side of the road.  There were a few cars along the stretch of highway (speed limit was 35 mph) who had pulled off to the side and were gazing like we were and probably even taking pictures too.  But other than than the purr of engines on the cool morning, it was quiet and peaceful.  And amazing.

PS... Our moose sighting also means that #36 on our Alaska Bucket List is completed.
