Day Date

Air and I had a free day last week, so we decided to grab some hot dogs and head up AF canyon. It was awesome because hardly anyone was up there. As most know, finding a fun spot to go with the kids during summer time means crowds galore. However, we were able to drive all the way to the springs without seeing more than a handful of people. It was so amazing to get out and really just find peace before all the chaos coming down the pike with a new job and school schedules. The boys had a great time, and enjoyed the freedom. 

Once we were done exploring the fish and fresh water, we headed back down to a favorite spot Swinging Bridge for some food. Air and I set up a fire and we sat in our camp chairs enjoying our hotdogs in a place all to our own. Air started telling me about how things were in Oregon and how people out there are fascinated by Sasquatch. She was telling me about her friend who had a foot imprint and tapes sounding out creepy moaning noises. She began expressing that after listening to them, she was creeped out for a week. I asked her to mimic them, and so she did. She started moaning and making frightfully strange noises. Something that if real would have definitely spooked me. Then she goes on and says that there was one they called the "Alpha-male" and his noises were like this. She makes louder deeper groans, and all the sudden we hear this loud moaning in return from up the mountain right behind us. We sat there for a second in silence, when it started again only this time whatever it was started coming down towards us. Rocks were falling down right in front of us, and then all the sudden this tall mountain goat charges right into our site. This thing was tall and large, but seemed just as spooked as us. We sat their as still as possible, I was scared to death it was going to charge at us. But after staring us down it turned and left. The whole thing was hilarious and we laughed pretty hard. But I will never forget Air's mating call to the goat!
