Today will be all pictures, and one video! My parent, Jason, and I went down to Anchorage for a couple of days. Here are the pictures from everything we saw.
This is a video that Jason took of the giant bull moose walking through the parking lot of Eagle River Nature Center. This moose was HUGE! IT had a full rack and everything. There were so many people watching and taking pictures, I was surprised the moose stayed as calm as he did. After all the stories I've read about moose attacks, I kept my distance. Therefore, I cannot take any credit for these pictures. All Jason!
Mountains along the drive.

The bull moose! Awesome!
More mountains.
Now, look at the van behind the moose. Now look at the moose. Now imagine hitting that moose. Ouch! As this moose walked right through the cars, the people watching began to find something to stand behind. It was very neat to see.
Again, we were blessed to be able to see Mt. McKinely. So glad my parents got to see it. These pictures are taken in between Fairbanks and Denali. By the time we arrived in Denali it was too cloudy to see anything at all. We even have pictures of the mountain after traveling only 15 minutes outside of Fairbanks.

People watching the moose. You can see that I was keeping the correct amount of distance.
The moose mom and dad got for us for our house. He fits in perfecty! I will stay closer to this one than the ones before this.
