Are you violently jolted out of bed at 8am to the sound of your husband's voice saying "Baby!! Come look!!" I swear he sounds like a kid who's just entered the gates of Disney World!
Only in Alaska...
Do you actually take heed to your husband's desperate plea and fall out of bed to stumble downstairs with him.
Only in Alaska...
Do you look outside and then run for your life to find your camera (which thankfully was freshly charged) without cause or concern for the dog you've just stepped on, the cat you've just scared or the babies who are still blissfully slumbering (at 8am).
Only in Alaska...
Do you curse your camera for having a flash - because this means that you must open the front door and risk loosing a limb to a stampede or bite or just to the sheer cold.
Only in Alaska...
Do you wake up to these:
A third one joins the crew:
Yep - those are MOOSE, practically nibbling on my front porch! I'm sorry the pictures are such awful quality. My hottie husband (who was looking seriously delectable in his BDU's this am - oh how I love a man in uniform!) was too wimpy to stick HIS arm out the door...so there I was, in my pantie-draws and tank top, trying to take these without freezing to death or spooking Momma Moose.
(Please excuse the miserable pumpkins still displayed on our porch. This is my wake-up call to haul them to the dumps!)
I actually burnt my arm on the metal screen door trying to get these pictures this morning as it's -6* outside. I have a pretty welt on my arm. =( Boo!
Anyway, GOOD MORNING from A Mommy in Jeans and High Heels! <-*MOOSE CROSSING*->

ReplyDeleteOh I totally don't live anywhere near Alaska, but this is amazing. My son's nickname is Moose so I appreciate all things Moosey!
