Moose-tastic Give-Away!!

Thanks to this guy.......(or gal...they don't have antlers yet this time of year...)

 I have now seen 100 moose in Alaska!!!

And as promised I am doing my very own blog give away.  You probably have a very good chance of winning this one since I don't have like, a billion readers.  

Here is what is up for the winner.....

A beautiful photo book of the Chugach Stage park, which is literally my backyard; a cute mug, an ULU knife, a cuddly moose, and of course, some funky moose socks.

Here is how to win and the rules.

First I am actually going to draw two winners - WHAT?? TWO you say?  Yes, 2.  The package above is for all my out of state readers.  That is the first winner.  The second winner is for my in state readers and they will just get the book about the Chugach. Sorry Alaskans, but you can pick up the rest at Freddie's on your own, the book is really cool though.

So to enter, leave me a comment telling me a favorite memory that you have of me or a favorite post you have read ion this blog (this one doesn't count).... And tell me whether or not you live in Alaska (I think I know all 6 of you who read this and where you live but, let me know at least what state your from, just in case).

I will draw a winner on Friday June 10 or thereabouts that weekend. The winners will need to contact me via email (see my profile on the side bar for the address) by June 17 or I will have to pick an alternate.

Oh, and for the record, I am up to 109 moose.  Maybe when we get to 200 I will fly one of you up here...(don't hold your breath,  but it is a nice thought...we love visitors...)

Moose Drop

Around here the last couple of weeks of May are known as Moose Drop Week.  This is when all the momma moose give birth to their babies.  It can be quite an eventful time.  Last year one momma moose hopped a fence to give birth in someone's backyard.  She successfully delivered twins and then she jumped back over the fence, but turned around and her babies were stuck on the other side....They weren't big enough to jump the fence... So she proceeded to tear up the fence and the trampoline and went crazy in this family's backyard.

Just now on the way home from a morning of errands, I was heading towards Wal-Mart when across the street from that lovely blue store came a momma and a baby...My first Moose Drop sightings of the season.  Since I am still getting used to my new phone and I was driving I got the following pictures of the tiny new baby and momma.  I should have left my video longer, since it turned out the best.

They are in there, trust me!

I also saw 2 moose this weekend!  But no babies...and since the antlers haven't started growing in yet for this year (did you know moose shed their antlers and re-grow those crazy things every year?) it is hard to tell if they were boys or girls that I saw. But considering I have had a dry spell on moose sightings for a while, this is big, blog worthy news!

Don't forget, when I get to 100 I am having a cool Moose-Tacular Give Away!!  2 more to go!!
