Trip to Valdez, Ak

Each year the town of Valdez has a Kids Pink Salmon Fishing Derby. Warren took the boys last year. This year we all went. It was a lot of fun! The trip down and back was good with lots of beautiful scenery. We caught only two fish between us. Warren was hoping to get more than that but the fishing was slow that day. We saw a grizzly bear while we were fishing. I saw my first "Bear Crossing" sign. I've seen deer, moose and even caribou but this was the first bear crossing I'd seen. After the Derby we packed up and drove to Chitina. We have a mission church there. Our pastors, the Durrs, have services there twice a month. This was their Sunday to be in Chitina so we went there for church. Chitina is a very unique little place. We took a lot of pictures while on our trip and I will post some soon.
