Today we had a wonderful day of touring Sandpoint. After lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Jalapenos, Lucy and I set out shopping covering Cabin Fever, Pend Oreille Winery, Cedar Creek Bridge and a variety of shops along 1st street, while Terry and George sat on a bench watching the world go by.
We returned home for some serious sitting by the river and catching up on naps. During our nightly meal, George exclaims he sees a couple of deer in the river. I can immediately see those are two Moose swimming for their lives to cross the Clark Fork River with a pretty good current going on. We all drop dinner and run out to the river with our cameras to catch this in action. Both moose got caught in current and decided to return to the shore from which they came after a mighty swim over 1/2 way across. George said they were calves maybe two years old. George knows all.
I am so excited that I am exclaiming " Moose in the River, Moose in the river" at the top of my lungs so that every neighbor within ear shot can witness this phenonomen of nature. Lucy got the best shots with her camera so I will share a few of them to prove my sightings.
Now Kim and Christi, don't you wish you had stayed over? This is not a very common experience looking our window during dinner so we we very lucky to have had such action. We are most lucky to have the good friendship of George and Lucy too.
Wish you all could have been there.
