Alaska, here we come!
Our family has been blessed and we are very excited that Bennett has been asked on a Hunt Of A Lifetime trip! His wish was to hunt Moose in Alaska and the non-profit organization Hunt of A Lifetime is making his dream come true!!
This organization helps kids with life threatening diseases enjoy the outdoors through hunting. They are paying for Sid and Bennett to go on a hunt with a outfitter guide in Chisana, Alaska. Hamilton and I couldn’t be left behind so we are paying our way and tagging along.
There is no roads to the Outfitters camp, it is literally in the wilderness and only accessible by air. We will be taking a charter plane from Fairbanks, Alaska. Most of the hunt is on horseback and sleeping in a cabin or tent and is located by Wrangell St. Elias National Park and Reserve.
We were going to go last year but Bennett was too sick and had a very low immune system.
We leave in a couple weeks and will be gone for a total of two weeks. We are all so thankful, excited and almost giddy about our adventure!! We haven’t been on a vacation longer than two days as a family so this is really a big deal for us.
We pray Bennett stays healthy enough to go and he doesn’t have any problems while he is thousands of miles away. We pray he has a breath taking experience and can observe God’s beauty while doing what he loves, hunting and being outside.
It definitely sounds like a “dream come true” and we are so happy for you!!We are thankful Bennett is in good health, and pray it continues while he lives out his hunting dream! What an experience! Can’t wait to see pictures.
That is awesome, Cindy. Congratulations! When it gets hot and humid here, I always say I want to go to Alaska! This is a once in a lifetime trip and I bet you all will enjoy it tremendously. We will pray that everything goes smooth and NO problems before, during and after your trip.
Wow!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you. I know how much this vacation will mean to you and how much you deserve it. Have a great time.
Brenda, Kurt, Dalton, and Madison
I can’t wait to see picture from Alaska. I know Ryan will be with you on the hunt. I hope he helps Bennett get a big one. I’m also so glad to hear some good news about a child with cancer it is about time. I know Bennett will be a long term survivor. I want to see this moose once he brings it home so we will be planning a trip to Benton!! Talk to you soon.
