I have to be careful as to what/which pictures I post on my blog because my brother prefers not to have his child's picture plastered all over the world wide web (can't say I blame him, I've considered making this blog private numerous times). Here are some more pictures of our adventures in Alaska:
Yes, that's my child picking her nose! Not the most flattering picture, but considering my niece is looking in the opposite direction, it's the only one I could post of their happy union. BTW, Kendall and her cousin were talking on the phone the night before we arrived in town and they were discussing all their plans for vacation!
K is loving on Aunt Mere and Riley getting some lovin' from his cousin
Kendall enjoying some of her cousin's dress up clothes
This is the cute little house we rented. It looks small from the outside, but it's actually pretty roomy inside - 4 bedrooms and three full baths!
For Seward, this place had a good bit of property around it - even a big side yard and it was all fenced in. Thankfully it was in walking distance of pretty much everything.
Here are the fireweeds that grow wild in Alaska. I was told that when the last flower blooms, then there's about 6 more weeks until the first snowfall.
This was seen from our rental house - a cruise ship on the way out of the bay
The Three Amigos
I absolutely fell in love with this little church. It was literally at the end of our block and it was so picturesque in this little mountain town
The view from our place to my brother's house
This is the view off my brother's back deck - pretty nice, huh?
This scenery reminded me a lot of Utah - as well as the snow capped mountains
I've been considering calling these two "Thing 1 and Thing 2" because every where they go, they tend to make a giant mess! Thankfully they fell in love with each other. After parting ways, you could often hear Kendall shouting out "Bye Alice! I love you Alice!"
This could be trouble when they are teenagers - running off from the parents to get into who knows what kind of mischief! Thankfully the grandparents survived babysitting the first ever cousin sleepover while the moms and dads went out to hear Hobo Jim who is a local favorite at the Yukon bar.
Both kids loved this sign at their cafe
Andy and I sat on the deck of the Resurrection Roadhouse and had a few drinks one afternoon - I could have sat there all day with that view!
Tried to get a family shot at the sign at the entrance to the National Park at Kenai Fjords, but there was an obstruction so we took this one instead
Small boat harbor in Seward
It amazed me how many people live on their boats in the harbor!
More of the small boats
The only orca we saw while we were there
A true princess never passes up a chance to try on a new tiara
Found across the street from the cafe
