Alaskan Adventures

Some friends took us out on Sunday to recover a HUGE bear they shot the night before but couldn't move because it was too big. We had a great day. Saw the sunrise and sunset on the water. Saw orcas, humpbacks, otters and even caught an octopus on our skiff anchor. And of course the huge bear. The top pic is the recovery effort of getting the bear out of the low area it was in to a flat spot. What a day!

Back from Hawaii

Now I see why people flock from the cold to go to Hawaii! We had a fantastic time, and the weather was so nice. Just posting a few pics from our trip (more are on facebook). We did a helicopter tour (which was super turbulent and a little scary for me-of course it didn't bother MC at all), some hiking and ziplining (which was SO much fun!). I can't wait to do ziplining again! I hope we are able to go back to Kauai before we leave Alaska because it really is a perfect getaway. We only have a year and half left here though so who knows. Time really flies up here. Now that we are nice and tanned, we are ready for winter (lots of snow on the mountains already but none in town yet).
