Jon: maybe if I sit by the cougar people will leave me alone...

You don't say!

Hardware ranch closed for the season yesterday, so it's pretty lucky that the Jaussi clan planned their outing for last weekend. Dad and Jan brought Jona nd his family and some friends up in the big 15 passenger van on Saturday for an outing up the canyon. We had lunch at McDonalds, and then drove to the ranch. There were still alot of elk there, and several of the bulls still had their antlers. We took a horse drawn wagon ride around the meadow where the elk were grazing, and then visited the visitors center. With a group of 15 people, any activity is fun! Afterward we came back to our house and played rock band. The adults decided to take advantage of having two 12 year old babysitters in the house, so we went out to Olive Garden and ate ourselves silly for dinner. Thanks to Dad and Jan for the fabulous day.
