Until next time

Today for the gang's last day in Anchorage we went out on a moose hunt.  Hannah really wanted a picture of a "live" moose, so we went to Kincaid park in West Anchorage.  It is a pretty big wooded park that has a really large trail system.  On our drive in we saw 4 different moose from the car, but while we were walking around the trails we didn't happen upon any (which is probably a good thing, since Banjo seems to like to bark and growl at them).  As grandma will report, we walked about 10 miles up and down, up and down, up and down the hills (probably more like 1.5 miles).  

Afterwards, I took everyone to one of our favorite pizza spots, Moose's Tooth.  We got 2 large pizzas that we were able to split so we had 4 different kinds: BBQ salmon; chicken, spinach and roasted garlic; southwest chicken; and chipotle steak.  Mmmm...

Later in the day we went to an Ulu factory.  Ulus are these knives that were originally used by Natives to filet and cut salmon.  It was pretty hokey.  

Right before everyone left for the airport, my dad decided he wanted to try and fix the toilet, which sometimes doesn't flush.  In the process he managed to flush one of the pieces down the toilet.  Since it was ten minutes before we had to go to the airport, we were left to repair the damage after they left.  Thanks Clave.
