Kenai River, AK

We've been too busy the last couple of days to post!We have had a good time, but can't wait to get back to the family. At least I can't! Mom and Dad probably want to rent an RV and camp out for a while! I think this place has brought new meaning to "God's Country!"
We stopped at a conservation center on the way down and were able to see some animals (bears, moose, reindeer, etc.) in their natural habitat. We saw a lot of eagles on the river, and a moose on the way back home. The guide had seen a mother bear and two cubs along the river we were fishing, but we didn't see her.
We went fishing in the afternoon. We fished for Rainbow Trout. It was fun. We hooked a total of 22, but only landed 16. The scenery was spectacular.Pictures really don’t do it justice, but we’ve taken quite a few. Stopped at Wal-Mart and bought a couple cans of soup that Mom prepared for us. None of us were really in a “restaurant” mood after a full afternoon of fishing.

Wow! Could you bring a bear skin back for us? We're excited about seeing the Dan Bixby's tomorrow!

I would love to go!! Although I see a hint of "Isn't there a great shopping place out here" look on Auntie Shirley's face!

Oh, trust me, Jennie. She found those as well. They even have a Nordstroms downtown.
It is actually a bigger city than I was expecting. They have pretty much everything you have in a big city like... Greenville. :-)
Thought I'd probably better not say Chicago!
We are currently at the airport, waiting for our flight. Can't wait to get home. We hope we get some zzz's on the plane.
