Were Back
Well, after a few weeks of not posting im back! We had so much fun! First on July 11, we were sealed in the Twin Falls Temple, that was such a neat experience, its so nice to know that we are now an eternal family!
Second, We went to Alaska, that was so much fun! We went on a cruise, what a way to go. Our first stop was Ketichikan, that was our favorite! We went fishing, I caught 2 silver salmon, 2 pink salmon, and 2 king salmon, we had to release the king cuz they weren't big enough. The first silver i caught was the biggest out of our group at between 8 and 10 lbs, I was so proud of myself. Ryan caught 6 pink salmon. he had so much fun. The people who took us out pretty much offered him a job. He helped put the line out to depth and pull it in when it needed to and he watched the other lines while other people were catching theirs. He really wants to move up there for the summer live on a boat and do tours all summer then we will come back here for the winter. But that won't be for a long time if we decided to do that.
Our next stop was Juno. We went on an adventure hike. It was so beautiful We got to see lots of different plants and animals. We walked on the ground where a glacier was decades ago, It was so neat. We got to the very top of the mountain and were able to see a beautiful glacier and waterfall, then when we got to the bottom we got to see them both up close, we were so close to it. After we took a potty break, we went down a path and saw a bear picking fish out of the stream, it was so cool, it started walking around and got within 6-7 feet of us. Ryan was so excited! Then on our way back to the bus we saw a mama bear and her two cubs. They were so cute, no more than a year old. It was by far one of the coolest things I have ever seen in nature. Before we got on the boat we enjoyed a nice walk through the town. It was a beautiful town, but I don't think i would like it there as much. To many people, they weren't as friendly as the people in the first town.
The third town we stopped at was Skagway. That was more of our shopping day. We went out and bought some suveniers. Ryan got a knife, a really cool one, I got a pair of fur house shoes, they are so cute, warm and compfy. I will really enjoy them this winter. Then we got a few little odds and ends. We walked around the town took lots of pictures. I was a cute little town a train town, We were asking some of the people there what its like in the winter, that town is like a ghost town in the winter compared to the summer. They said they get about 2-3 ships every day of the week except saturday and sunday and sometimes fridays are more slow. But you figure 2,000 people per ship, plus or minus a few, at 2-3 ships a day, thats between 4 and 6000 people a day walking through your store. Then a lot of the workers there are only there for the summer months then go somewhere else in the winter. It was very interesting to hear about that.
Our last stop was Victoria, we didn't get off the boat, instead we played shuffle board, cards, ate, and then went to a night club. We had so much fun! The boat also had something called movies under the stars, that was neat, we got to lay out by the pool and watch movies on a huge screen. They had madascar 2 one day, then confessions of a shopaholic, twilight, bolt, and several others. It was so relaxing. We got to see Whales, dolfins, seals, and the coolest was bald eagles, bald eagles everywhere. We really enjoyed the cruise, but next time, if there is a next time, We are going to fly up there and spend sometime back packing and hiking some more.
Now its back to reality, cooking, cleaning, making my own bed, work, yeah not so much fun! But I sure love my life. Hope all is well with everyone! Enjoy the rest of the summer while you can falls comming up fast! Yahoo!!!
