Of course for our last night in Alaska… Fynn and Kolby went swimming. Fynn even jumped in twice! Goodbye Glaciers, it has been awesome.
We still hadn’t been able to get a permit for the bear blind at Anan Bear Sanctuary. Here you can stand in a cabin overlooking the river and watch the bears fish. We had been getting a lot of conflicting information amount getting a permit but the one consistent was to just go and, Read More
