On our way home from a wonderful weekend of camping we were driving down highway 50 along the Arkansas River when I spotted three Big Horn Sheep (hence the name Big Horn Canyon). I urged the kids to look out the driver side to see them. Hays saw them immediately and shared in my excitement. Gilli said she couldn’t see them and was [...]
