Misc pictures.

Brenda and the kids Brenda and I and some of her relatives.
The whole group we were with. I told you

it was a lot of people.

The Ship

On the ship they take pictures of you. Getting on

the ship getting off the ship, eating dinner, and then

around the ship there are places to get you pictures

taken. It is actually quite fun. Here are just a couple

of the ones taken of us.

Victoria, Canada

Parlament
The Empress Hotel
Queen Victoria
Parlament at night.

This was our last stop of the trip. And it was a quickie too.

We were only in port for about 6 hours. But since I had never

been to Victoria before, Marci took me out and walked

around town. We were also on a mission for Mr.Big bars.

They are a candy bar found only in Canada. Brenda and her

sister Teri gave us money and told us not to come back until

we had some. Luckily we hit the local 7-11 and found a ton.

We bought 14 for the girls. Hope that was enough!! :)

Ketchican, Alaska

Brenda and I decided to go on a bike ride excursion
here in Ketchican. The problem was the we swear
that is was up hill both ways. They said it would be rolling
hills, but I don't believe them. The bike ride almost killed
us, but we did manage to survive and enjoy ourselves.
It had pretty scenery and we were able to go into a
rain forest and walk down to the ocean.

A Bigger Iceburg


This was one of my favorite days. We

stayed all day at sea. And we woke up

to these beautiful views from our balcony.

After we got dressed and ate. Brenda and I

went up on deck and got a beautiful view

of the glacier. It was very cold. But we were

dressed warm and had hot chocolate to warm

our insides. On the ship they had classical music

playing while a man with a sultry sexy voice spoke to

us about the area and the iceburgs, and the glacier.

Skagway, Alaska

In Skagway we just walked around town and visited

shops. Yes grandma I went to the Christmas stores!!

I also bought myself a fake fur shearling jacket while

I was here. Ofcourse I won't be able to wear it for

awhile. But that is OK. While in Skagway Brenda and I

took the kids on a tram ride. We got to see a wonderful

view of the town.

Larry and the kids panning for gold.

As you can see we had a fun time at our first stop in

Juneau. It was a cloudy day but not too cold. The food

at the salmon bake was yummy. There was also a folk singer

singing songs from Alaska. And there was this cute Alaskan

Malmute dog as well. Then after eating we took a little walk to

the Gold Creek falls. Along the way in the creek you could

see the salmon swimming up stream. We had a great view

from our room on the ship.

I am back from my cruise and have a million pictures.

Since I can't put on a million pictures at once, I will

just do it a location at a time. These are pictures

that I took from our balcony on the ship of Seattle.

Here you go Ben and Piper!!!!!!!
We love you guys. (and everyone
else reading this blog) I promise
more pictures from when I come
back from Alaska!

First Day of School

Sam & Liz
Nick, Sam and Liz

Last Monday was the first day of school.

Liz is in the 5th grade and Sam is in the 7th grade.

Nick came to pick up Liz for school that morning

so I took a picture of him too. As a tradition we always

go out for ice cream after school. This day we went to

Baskin and Robins. It was sure yummy!!!!

Here are some pictures of the trip that the family

took to Spokane. Yes I was naughty and didn't take

very many. And I was even more naughty, because

we spent the day in Utah with the cousins and did

not take any pictures there. Luckily Candi did.
