"Everbody who comes to Alaska has a list of things that they want to see and nothing tops that list more often than the Alaskan Grizzly Bear!

I'll never forget. We had only been in Alaska a short while when our kids came home and told us that there had been a grizzly bear out on the middle school football field.

This middle school was only a few miles from our house and all I could think was "Wow, we really are in Alaska!" It was cool and scary at the same time.

Where else but in Alaska do you have these types of converstations at the dinner table? It was pretty exciting! "
