Alaska-Part 2

I know. Just when you think no more pics, we have more. Since this is serving as my scrapbook I figured why not...

This is Mike and a couple of his brothers on top of the ship. Todd, the one in the middle, actually served his mission in Alaska.



This is us getting up early in the morning to see the amazing scenery as we went up the Misty Fjords to the Juneau Icefield and glaciers. The pictures don't do it justice.





The Championship Ping Pong Tournament on the cruise ship



Mendenhall Glacier




All the ladies of the family



True Fishermen



We saw a lot of Bald Eagles. This one was just sitting on top of a building near the fish hatchery in Juneau.



This was a seriously fast 2 mile hike to the top of this Mt. Roberts trail in Juneau. We were in a hurry because we were running late to board the ship. Needless to say, we were happy to take the tram down:)





This was a black bear that we saw on the side of the road just outside of Skagway.



Emerald Lake. We rented vans and went on a tour around Skagway and then on up into Canada. There were beautiful mountains, waterfalls and several emerald looking lakes all along the way.



When you have to pack 18 into 2 vans, things can get a little cozy:)



Reid Falls in Skagway just above the famous little gold mining town and cemetery.



This is the family on the ship after the "50th Wedding Anniversary" tribute to Bill and Carol. What a great couple - 50 years and a lot of great memories!



Relaxing poolside on the ship



Our last stop on the way home was in Victoria, BC. We went to Butchart Gardens to see the awesome displays of flowers/plants and then took in the firework show.





Mike and I weren't the only ones having fun. While we were gone on the cruise, the boys were having the time of their lives with G&G Wilson - fishing, going to the park, going to Po Jo's, the Discovery Center, the Boise Zoo and just having fun with their cousins.
