Griz Attack!!!





Alright I will get to our Pozega Lake trip in a minute but first. . .
This afternoon we were cleaning around our cabin-Ike went out back to work on the wood pile. I just sent Little man out to help him-he came running back in and said, "quick mom get dad's pistol, there is a bear and he is after Griz (our 6 pound yorkie) so I panicked like usual and scrambled and could not find the pistol-Ike put away in a safe spot (of course) so Little man, calm and collected, said grab dad's bow it is right there!! So we got the bow and ran out! Ike came running back and said-you are not going to believe what had happened-when he was working he heard Griz bark and he looked over and saw Griz facing a bear-so Ike turned to go get something and looked back the the bear was running-across the road-he thought after Griz, but Griz was CHASING THE BEAR- so then he chased after him screaming for him to come back-Griz treed the bear and then left when he couldn't get the bear down!!!!!!-Little man said well I guess we won't have to worry about bears with Griz around-!!!!!!

Okay back to Pozega Lake-first of all I spelled it wrong-thanks to Papa our tour guide and Pozega Lake expert the spelling is correct-love ya Papa!!! The trip was a blast despite the 25 lb pack on my back - and I am not in shape to ride into a mountain lake on a motorbike-the kids were both troopers-they loved finding huckleberries, the ride, fishing, and seeing Papa's cabin where he and his 6 brothers and sister all stayed every summer! They took care of the cabin at Pozega Lake and worked there every summer to earn money-their dad would go out every couple of weeks to buy groceries- I am amazed they all made it throught those summers-but he said they were great times and the memories and stories they had are great. I sat on their toliet and broke it-we barley got a picture before the seat snapped! Our 6 hour venture was a fun one and one that our children will soon not forget-make sure you spend time and learn what your family history was all about, it is worth it!!! Have a great week!
