Exit Glacier Again

Of course we had to visit Exit Glacier again with new family in town.  It is so beautiful and easy to access.  This time we had along professional photographer, Elizabeth Homan (Click Here for Elizabeth's Website )  She has done many portrait sessions with us and my mom just had to have her come take some pictures of us in Alaska!

Dinner Cruise Again!

My Parents and my grandparents came to visit us toward the end of the summer.  We got to enjoy the dinner cruise in Seward, AK again with them.  We didn't see as many animals this time.  Bummer!  The scenery was as beautiful as ever though!

 

We did see an otter!  He was just as cute as I thought he would be!

Air Show

The weekend we moved on base was also the same weekend that the air show was happening on base.  Air shows are always a lot of fun!  On Saturday we went into the show area and checked out all the static displays.  On Sunday we enjoyed the Thunderbirds show from the back of the flight line.  (one of the perks of being military!)

Rock Climbing

William had the chance to do a three day rock climbing camp during the summer.  He really loved it!  All of the kids had a lot of fun and had lots of chances to climb all over the Alaska Rock Gym.

Happy Birthday Eli and Lucy!

On one of the last days of the Cox Family visit, we held a joint birthday party for Eli and Lucy's birthdays (Eli a little late, and Lucy a little early).  Lucy is turning one and Eli just turned two.  We were very glad to celebrate with family!
