We began our trip to Alaska at 3am. When we arrived at the airport, we found out that our second flight was canceled so we ended up have 3 extra hours to wait in Seattle...should have been a sign that our traveling would be crazy that day!!
Once we arrived in Anchorage, we drove an hour to Palmer and then got on another plane - much smaller :-) to fly to Homer, Alaska.
We packed Megan and her new friend, Ali, in the back and headed out!
They slept the whole way!
Once we arrived in Homer, we headed out in a boat to Halibut Cove
It was now about 9pm and Megan SCREAMED when we put a life jacket on her...not happy at all!
We arrived safe and sound to a small cabin in beatiful Alaska.
I took this at 11:30 outside our cabin before we went to bed.
View from the cabin
Outdoor, but warm, shower..excellent view :-)
Out on a hike the next day by the ocean
Matt's parents babysat for us while we went out for a hike!
Megan petting her first horse!
Getting ready for some Hobo stew out at the campfire outside the cabin.
Some down time in the evening..trying to calm Megan down for bed!
Out combing the beach for dead sea lions and starfish...we found both! The girls weren't impressed :-)
On the boat again.....
Heading back to Palmer.
Flying up to the next cabin in Sheep Mt.
Little scooter ride to the hanger...
The famous Alaskan bush wheels..rather large :-)
All set and ready to roll for another day out!
In front of two glaciers...yes they are receding...yes that is normal :-)
Megan couldn't take in all the sights...she cashed out in the backpack
Protecting everyone from the bears :-)
Clearing the runway...seriously!
Still sleeping.....
I love flying!!
Can you believe this is their window view, NOT a picture!!
On the glacier
It was beatiful!
Out again...this time she got sunburnt! oops!
Hot dogs and marshmellows on the edge of the glacier.
Heading back home...
Rocking baby Ali :-)
It was a fabulous trip and very nice to get out and hike around! What a beatiful place!!
