Our Alaska Trip

I know you all have been waiting in anticipation of the pictures of our trip to Alaska. It has taken me this long to get them into the book, which ended up being 45 pages long. So here are some of those pages. The Glaciers are beyond description. The colors, the way they changed as the light changed. We cruised through Glacier Bay, went to the Mendenhall Glacier, and took a boat out to see the Portage Glacier. Each very unique and very beautiful.

The town of Ketchikan was lovely, the weather was very nice, and as usual, I was amazed by the beautiful flowers.

This is where we had lunch one day. It was like being in a tropical rain forest, only it was cold. When Andy sent a picture to work, no one believed he was in Alaska! This is one of the few pictures we have of us together. Always bundled up in coats.

The scenery on this train ride was spectacular. It was the route the gold miners took during the Yukon Gold rush. The train didn't operate then, they (the miners) walked the hundreds of miles. Andy is holding our traveling companions, Flat Nora and Flat Sara.

It was an amazing vacation. We saw such amazing scenery. I was reminded of the Primary Song. "....I am glad that I live in this beautiful world, Heavenly Father created for me."

The interior of Alaska was my favorite part of the trip, but it didn't take long to enjoy the service that is provided on a Cruise.

Thanks kids, ....our 40th wedding anniversary is coming up......or your dad's 60th birthday...that gives us a couple of years......It would be fun for all of us to go next time.

Grandpa time

We got him cleaned up before Brad and Katie came back. He has gotten wet before, but never played in the mud, much less ate it! They had packed extra clothes, they knew he would have Grandpa time.
