Now that is a busy weekend! Nice moose shots.
And Emily is just as beautiful as a 9 years as she was as a 8 yr. old!
Wow, I'm exhausted just reading what you did! I think you deserve the Super Mom Award. Love the moose pictures. It's neat when I see an occasional alligator or a raccoon but to see a couple of moose-mooses-meese--whatever--that is sooooo cool!
Great photos of the moose!
You are one busy lady!!!
Gayle....how many days can you do this? I'm pooped...and I also love the moose pictures.

I only came to checkout the CCs -now I am exhausted and that is only reading about it.
It this what they mean when they talk about a 'soccer mom' ?
I am glad we home schooled.
Hi Gayle,
How do you find time to blog???
Your family and all your photos are wonderful... but take a 'breather', girl.
Those Moose were awesome. I think it's great when I get a photo of a deer, bear or turkey here in PA.
Relax (as best you can!) and have a great day.

I am also left totally worn out! I agree, take a deep breathe and slow down. I remember those days, I have four kids, I met myself coming and going and was always exhausted. I am glad that you do have your blog and the CC meme to do for yourself. The Moose are a lovely and great photos! Hope this week goes a little slower for you, and take time to "see the moose!"...you owe it to yourself! I'll ditto the comment, Relax (as best you can!).....and have a great day!
You forget to put 'breathe' on any of those lists. You need to breathe!
What's your secret? I'm tired from just reading!
Those raod crossing pictures spectacular
Happy birthday to Emily. You are one busy lady! We prefer the moose in our state to stay on the sides of the road!

Hmm and we get excited about hedgehogs and foxes. Love the Moose - although mine tend to be on earrings. Glad it isn't just my life that ends up too busy :)
Happy Birthday Emily! A Russian friend held a 9th birthday party yesterday as it was his.
Wow that is one crazy filled weekend. But it all looks like great fun. LOVE your moose pictures as well as all the other fun family shots you shared. Congrats on getting so much done!
This is a really great post (although I seriously need a nap now hehehe).
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the moose! How awesome!!!
You seriously need a vacation, woman! My gawd, where do you find the energy?
