Fun with Family







We met up with Kris and Anna and their kids for fun at the Gateway Discovery Museum. After the kids were done exploring we ran through torrents of rain to the food court for Panda Express and Subway. Kyle and Lindsey went back to the hotel with Kris to swim while Macy, Meg and I drove down to pick up Tyse from school and then joined them for a fun swim at the Little America! We all had a great time!

Bruce and Brians Birthday party

On August 16 was my dad's and Brian's birthdays. We had the Gwilliam's over to celebrate! It was really fun to see everyone. We had Grandma's YUMMY chocolate cake, played volleyball, and just enjoyed talking to each other! I was really fun! Can't wait to see everyone again at grandma's and grandpa's for christmas! Right? ;)



Happy Birthday Lindsey





Lindsey is 6. She has been counting down to Aug. 17 for far too long. This year we had a "breakfast party" but did it at night so that Bruce could come. We played pin the bacon on the plate, ate donuts off strings, did an egg relay, ate a full course breakfast and played in our PJ's.

Our Day with the Bacons...

We disembarked the ship in Seward and took a bus towards Anchorage. We didn't have to catch our flight for 10 hours so wW had the bus drop us off in Girtwood to hook up with Stephanie and Erik for the day. Our first stop was a hike near the Girtwood ski resort. It was raining, but when in Alaska, you just put on your gear and press on. It was amazing. We hiked through lucious green forest and eventually came to a beautiful river and then to a hand tram that took us across the river probably 300 feet above ground! I love the hike and had a great tour guide!

Hubbard Glacier






These pictures don't really do it justice. The glacier was very active - kaving it was called when part of the glacier would slide down into the water. It was happening constantly while we were watching. We got within about a mile of the glacier and watched nature in action.

Ship Views






This surely isn't something you see everyday!
