Hubbard Glacier Alaska pt 3

We were able to see the magnificent Hubbard Glacier! It was beyond breath-taking.
About 6 nautical miles away

The Colin Penner family! Wren was not giving Auntie any love :(






We saw quite a few seals

HUGE cracks!




Ice carving!

Even Wren participated in the watching!


Time for the polar bear swim!

Those are the "Penners" Avery, Colin, Morgan and Scott!

"Warming up" with some volleyball


A few officers with Morgan and Scott

No longer ice cream truck virgins

Yesterday was so hot. While playing outside we heard the ice cream truck coming down the street. Since the kids had never stopped at an ice cream truck before I decided why not today! It was such a perfect treat!

Watching the truck drive away! Sawyer kept saying, 'Ice cream truck singing me, ice cream truck singing me, Mom.'

Alaskan Cruise pt 2

Our first stop on our trip was in Hoonah, or Icy Strait Point! Morgan and I had decided to go kayaking with our time in Hoonah. It was a quaint little stop that was mostly for cruise tour groups. 


Off in the water!


Our ship!


Enjoying the water and the rain! 

Wildlife!


Can you see the humpback whale just off the shore?! Yes, we were about 100 yards away from a whale, in kayaks! SO crazy!




Exploring the town!

Our Alaskan Cruise pt 1

On July 7th we boarded the Celebrity Century for a week long cruise with my entire family! Grandma all the way down to cousins and one nephew! It was the most relaxing week I have ever had in my entire life. And no, I'm not exaggerating! We didn't bring our kids remember?!

Leaving Vancouver!



A smattering of family






Games!
