True Blue Alaskans




Saturday was an eventful day for the Comin family! We decided to go hiking along the inlet coast in Anchorage with Kirsten and Aaron Henshied (Kirsten is an old roommate and they are staying here for the summer). Along the coast are mountains where dall sheep usually reside. That's where we went hiking. We stopped when we saw a ton of them and they were actually on the trail with us! We have the pictures to prove it! We got so close it was unbelievable!! So we trucked on into the wilderness and it was a gorgeous hike. About half an hour into the woods, Aaron was taking the lead and all of a sudden he yells, "Hey bear! Hey bear!" There was a black bear about 10 feet away from us right off the trail!! Thank goodness baby was with Kyle in the back. We slowly walked backward and made our way to the car. It was a little nerve-wrecking, but we all made it home safely thank goodness. So now we can say baby is a true Alaskan and has had her first outdoor adventure!

Bears might be a little scary, but have you ever run into a RATTLESNAKE!??
