Tracy Arms Tour and BEARS!

About a week ago we were able to go on one of the most popular boat tours here called the Tracy Arms Tour.  We went about 80 miles out of Juneau to the Sawyer and South Sawyer Glaciers.

We also saw tons of wildlife...

Sea Lions...

Seals... He was posing for us...

And this little cuddly friend.... This is one of may bears that we've seen already.  He was the first.  The second my husband saw cross the road right in front of where we work and didn't want me to be scared... So... I, unknowingly, walked with him home from work just minutes after he saw it... He didn't tell me until the next day! Oh brother! He didn't want me to be scared... There goes my morning runs without him... Don't want to get gobbled up!  And our third and fourth bears were seen outside the window of... any guesses?.. Relief Society and Elder's Quorum! Before we knew it the whole ward was out of their classes taking pictures of the big black bear and little brown one outside... Only in Juneau.

Here are some more photos of our day

The glaciers break off at this time of year and we were able to witness many big chunks crash into the water.  The biggest one we saw was at the South Sawyer Glacier and it was about the size of a house that fell off! Yeah it made a big splash! Sounded like thunder!
