We set out up the mountains, took some turns Mark thought looked fun and ended up at the popular trail head of Baldy. I had no idea it was that close! But when we flipped a u-ie to go find these dall sheep, Mark hit the brakes. He said, "take a picture!!" ... mmm sunset at 9:30 and it's only April. It's fantastic!
After a few more shots, we made it up the streets I had hoped for. Annnnd... TA DA!! You see them?! There's three of them: 
Here's a zoomed and cropped shot of two of them. The third was far to the left. 
In my Alaska's Wolf-Man book (which is SPECTACULAR, by the way), the dall sheep is supposedly the most tasty game in all of Alaska. Don't look at the cute pictures when you think about that! Actually, these sheep are about 120 pounds... so they're quite large and non-cuddly. But still really neat looking, especially on the rock face!
From the same road, here's the other side of the valley (the side our living room faces). You can see the windy Eagle River, and the remaining snow on the mountains. Melt snow, melt!
side note:
the baby is still tickling me, and today it's happened twice. The last time I laughed out
loud was last Sunday in Sacrament Meeting. It was embarrassing!!
Mark was laughing at me, but I don't think anyone noticed... AH! BABY.

Ahh...baby....love hearing about the joys you are experiencing while you're pregnant. It's so sweet. As for the sheep, that's neat that you went for a drive to spot some. That sunset is spectacular!!
I LOVE the sunset picture. It's gorgeous! The sheep are cute too...looking at them, not thinking about eating them :) That makes me laugh that you laughed out loud in sacrament haha. Silly baby!
That is so funny! I have never felt that tickling sensation! You are too cute!
