    Moose in the neighborhoods are familiar with people, dogs, cars, etc and will walk away if they don't want to be around but don't generally run away unless they are spooked. This family was in our yard over 12 hours and was quite comfortable with the sounds of summer and children playing. They are wonderful animals and it was a very special day to see them so active. Thanks for the post.

    This was so sweet to watch. It was as if the first baby was trying to convince the mom how fun it was and then the mom allowed the second one to come out and play and then she finally stood there just enjoying the moment with her babies.

    There was a woman who commented on this video on another site. She said that she had a developmentally disabled son who had died, and this song was very special to her because it reminded her so much of her son and how very much she missed him. I will never forget the depth of her feelings that came thru her post; every time I watch this beautiful video, I think of her. Thanks for sharing a bit of God's beauty from your part of the world!

    Animals are the best thing to ever happen to this planet. I can only imagine how amazing it must be to live in a place where moose, deer, bears and other wildlife are respected and adapted to living with human beings. Beautiful video, beautiful song and I also think this is possible the best use of a sprinkler I have ever seen. Congrats :)

    Friday, 5/28/10. Wow! It just doesn't get much better than this. Great eye on the camera. Perfect song. How fabulous that you set the sprinkler out for them to cool off and you caught it all on tape. If anyone out there says animals don't have emotion, check out their sheer happiness, joy and pleasure. See how content mama is to see her babies kicking up their heels with glee. I agree with 4Topwood. Best use ever for a lawn sprinkler. You blessed me and made my day. Thank you!

      ***** Oh? Grab the rifle and take the kid out for a nice day of shooting? People who buy shotguns to go pigeon hunting, for example. Hunting is BS. You don't think nature can keep animals alive? Good thing humans have been doing the ecosystem for 4.6 billion years, oh wait humans have only been around 40,000 years, the rest nature has done itself quite well. We have an egotism where we think without our intervention nature is screwed. We are wrong.
