Alaska days 3,4, and 5.

On day 3 we decide to check out the mall we stopped for some soup and searched some stores. This is whats in the center of the mall.

The next day we woke up Early so we could go on a Glacier tour on the way there we stopped at Wendys breakfast it was amazing!!

Then we stopped at the Alaska wildlife preserve this is a muskox.

Antalope.

If you look close at the water you can see a bear head he was playing with a stick in the water.

Moose.

We also stopped to look at some red trout.

Uncle Matt giving Erilyn a better look.

Then we went through this a tunnel that took 7 min to get through.

Some seals hanging out on a rock in the middle of the ocean.

The front of our ship it was called the Klondike express.

If you look closely you can see a baby black bear on the shore.

Glacier.

They gave Erilyn a coloring book and crayons she was in heavan.

Arent the beautiful?




Trying the glacier ice it was pretty yummy!!

 

The glacier calfing or a fancy word for a piece falling off you can see the begining of a splash that turned into a wave and shook the boat.

I love this pic. of a tiny waterfall coming out underneathe the glacier.

Erilyn trying nachos for the first time. They gave us fish and chips on the boat (Erilyn got a kids meal a hot dog, chips and a fruit cup) but uncle Matt was still hungry so he ordered a pizza and said they would bring it to him when it was  done in about 20 min. half an hour later he went up to see what was taking so long and they had gotten so busy they had forgotten to put it in the oven. And it would be about half an hour. 45 min later they brought it with a voucher for a free snack itam we decided to get some nachos Erilyn loved them as you can see.

Petting a Seal pelt that thing was THICK and super soft!!

Touching the glacier they cuaght in the water.



An ice berg in the water isnt it so pretty?!  This was a place we stopped on our way back home.



A close up of the ice berg.



Proof we saw a glacier in person!! The next day we spent hanging out at Grandpa Troys and exploring his acre of land. The boys also helped grandpa break out some cement .



ALASKA: The flight, Day 1, and day 2.

Entertaining her self trying to keep her self awake while we waited for our plane that was half an hour late.

These nice people gave her an Ipad of some sort so she could play games.



Ready for take off!! Even though she an unticketed infant in arms we were lucky ebough to havean empty seat next to us on both flights. Wich worked out  REALLY since she ended up sleeping most of both flights. We didnt have to hold her the whole time and she could sleep better.



we spent the next day catching up on sleep, relaxing, and stocking up on junk food. wal mart was an hour drive away!! This is what the road looked like about 100 feet before the wal mart.

On the way home we stopped for the best ice cream in the world!

Sitting in a rocking chair that Travis Grandpa Egbert made for him when he was around Erilyns age.

The next day we went on a train ride we had to wear these pins on our shirts so the staff knew we were aloud to be in spacific train car.

LOVE this pic!! Just looking out at how beautiful alaska is.

our train car was a " dome car" meaning it was almost completely glass so we could see really well. :-D

A Glacier.

Love this pick of Erilyn showing Grandpa His nose.

Bigger glacier they all had names but i don't Remember any of them.

The front of the train.

Comming out of a tunnel. I thought they would scare Erilyn but she thought they were pretty darn cool.

Really pretty river again dont remember the name of it.

At the back ouf our train they had an open, covered deck this was a good place to get pictures.

Looking out with Daddy.

There were 2 poles on the deck Erilyn thought they were a jungle gym.

Having a blast she is such a Monkey!!

This picture shows you how green Alaska is. And rare accurance the sun!!

So pretty!!

When we got to our destination we had about 5 hours to kill so we loaded up on a free shuttle to go into town. We went to an aqauriuam Erilyn loved it!!

I got to pet these Erilyn was scared and want to play the water instad of touch them there was also jelly fish you could touch.

Erilyn watched this guy for ever he didnt really move much either till later.

Being silly for the camera. That water behind her is the ocean.



I know this pic is blurry but i thought it was cute that she was resting next to uncle matt.



Checking out a BIG fish.

After the aquarium we walked around and found somwhere to eat then we found a park the boys played horse shoes while me and Erilyn played at a near by park. This piture was taken right before she slid out and bonked her head.

Playing in the sand they had those sand toys there allready .

Walking with daddy back to the boat.

This was taken on the way home i love how the mountain looks gold!!

Checking it out.

Pretty Alaskan sky.

Sun set. Even though the sun set it was still ight till about 11 and light again by 5am!

Just thinking...

At this very momment i have 2! beating hearts inside me,I have 4 legs,4 arms,20 toes, 20 fingers,2 noses, 4 eyes, i could go on and on and on and on for ages! Its so amazing to me how a womens body knows how to grow a baby, and how the the baby grows prefct almost everytime. It really is a miracle! Being pregnant and being a mom was something i always knew i wanted. I started babysitting at age 11 i was never scared or nervouse to watch any one i knew what to do, i had patience, fun ideas and the kids loved me.I always knew i would be a young mom. I never knew it would be this amazing though! Hearing your own child say mommy for the fist time is the best feeling in the world. Your duaghter stubbing her toe stumbling over to you crying like the world is going to end and motioning for you to kiss it better and when you do she is magicly healed and all better....thats what i live for. I thank my heavenly father for my duaghter and the baby in my belly everyday. I thank him for my duaghters health, for how big and smart she is getting and most impotantly for trusting me with her.I also pray that this baby in my belly will grow strong and healthy and that he will watch him/her and keep them safe. I couldnt imagine my world with out my duaghter or even my growing baby. Im thankful that no matter what they are mine for ever. I read some where recently that heavenly father loves our children more then we do wich is hard for me to believe becuase i love my duaghter and growing baby more then anything this word has to offer.I cant wait to meet this baby in my belly... to see what he/she looks like, what kind of personality he/she will have, what Erilyn thinks of being a big sister, I wonder if i will have this one early to or maybe go past my due date? I cant wait to see what the future holds and to be the mom of 2 kids.

Day two dinosuar land.

The next day we head to dinosuar land  Erilyn wasnt quite sure what to think of the dinosuars.

Waiting for everyone to finish up so we could take a picture Brynlee decided to help push Erilyn around.

The whole gang minus Elder Hammond.

After a quick stop for sandiches in the park everyone decided that shakes sounded yummy. i looked back to find that Erilyn had stolen Uncle Connors shake!!

She was in heaven!

This ppic is kinda out of order but this is Erilyn checking out the fossil wall.
The next day we packed up and played af ew last min games on the lwwn before heading out we were trying to go to golden corral but went the wrong way and ended up at a bbq place that made me really sick.  Other then that i felt pretty welll the whole time and had lots of fun.

Day one night activities.

Shaless won that one. we also tried to see who could empty the tissues out of a box the fastest connor won that one.Then that last one we did was try to get an oreo off your your forhead and into your mouth with out using your hands. Kamrin won that one.
