Alaska...part II

More more more!!! Everyone wants more photos from our Alaska trip...here they are!

The boys did a lot of fishing while we were there, sockeye salmon, pink salmon, grayling and trout! Although I did fish for salmon I was unsuccessful, BUT I did catch a lake trout with ease! The rest of my time at the river was spent reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. :) Since I never find time to read at home, except at bed time, which only means a couple of pages each night.

We visited "Exit" Glacier which was an amazing experience, though also quite sad. As you are driving toward the glacier there are wooden signs with a date on each. The location of these signs marks where the edge of the glacier touched that year. While hiking the trail that runs to the top of the glacier we met another couple who had visited the glacier just two years earlier and commented on how much it had melted back just in two years! Its an eye opener to see just how much global warming is effecting every aspect of our planet.

Chris and I also hiked a couple of days. Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous is all I can say!
