Oh deer! Oh my!

One of our Sunday traditions is to take a drive up the Provo Canyon before church so that the kids will fall asleep and get in a little nap before our one o'clock church time.  Yesterday on our drive, neither child fell asleep.  When we got up to Vivian Park we were glad they didn't fall asleep.  We couldn't believe our eyes when we noticed a deer near the creek, with a group of kids standing right next to it!  We hopped out to get a closer look.  Not only did this deer let us get in close proximity, this deer was letting us pet him, and would eat right out of our hands.  When everyone finally got bored of it, we headed to the other side of the river where the park was and it followed us!  Then the kids started chasing each other in the big grassy field, and the deer started running around in circles with them!  It followed these kids for probably 45 minutes.  It was one of the craziest things I have ever seen!
Porter kept touching his tail, and would laugh when it would shake his tail back at him.

He's hiding behind the branches of that tree.

Isn't that bizarre!  Those kids were all over this animal.

I wish we would've had video of this, he came over to Jared and was totally sniffing his phone that he was using to take pictures and video.

Savanna is jealous of this experience and says "I want to pet that deer!"
