Bryan's hunting trip in Alaska

August 21-24th

Of course, if we are going to go to Alaska then Bryan should probably go hunting and fishing in Alaska.
I thought I should post a couple pics of the hunting trip. . .
but really, all you need to know is 4 things:
1.) Bry and Jay went hunting
2.) The plan was to take a canoe up the Moose River on the Kenai peninsula
3.) They spent the majority of the hunting trip sick with the flu (there is nothing like camping when you are REALLY sick!)
4.) They didn't shoot anything--though when you spend more time vomiting and having diarrhea than hunting--you are bound to not get anything.

Hmmm, I do think they still had some fun though. . .
And Bry plans to go on another Alaska hunting trip (hopefully with Jay) but minus the flu!

2 things of note--We saw a mama moose and a baby moose during one of our outings that we went on while the guys were gone. But the funniest was this little story: When Bryan left, he told Mircea that "We are going to go look for a Moose!" When they got back, Mircea said, "I found the moose!--They are at the zoo!" Those silly boys didn't know where to look!--Good thing Mircea set them straight--next time maybe they should take her with them!

In the garage getting gear together
(Their garage is like all the stock of an REI store crammed into a 1 car garage--hmmm or maybe they are starting their own outdoor store?!? It was an outdoorspersons dream! I didn't know 2 people needed access to at least 10 sleeping bags, or that 2 people needed 8 pairs of snow shoes, or that. . . . It was an awesome garage!)

we didn't know that that evening we would be sick with the flu!

Saying goodbye!

Happy to have Daddy home!

If I get more pics from Jay, I will post them!
