Plane Ride to a Glacier on Denali

In what was undeniably the most epic part of our journey we took a small plane up to a glacier! We even landed on the glacier and got to go sledding. The kids had no fear- they loved it! The best part of the airplane ride for them was the headphones that had a microphone attached so they could talk to the pilot. 

Back to Alaska Pictures

Ryan Science Camp

Okay.. I have more Alaska pictures but I will take a little break to give you some pictures from Ryan at Science Camp. The camp Science Fun for Everyone was a HUGE hit. Everyday instead of answering how was your day? with "good", he would launch into a discussion of all the stuff he learned and how much fun he had. The morning was "Nature Detectives" which mainly focused on animals and a lot about their defense mechanisms and the afternoon was "Complex Creations" which focused on mechanics and how mechanical things work. It was made even more fun because he got to go with his friend Anders. He is super disappointed I only signed him up for one week of science camp this summer!

Walking Reindeer

Outside of Anchorage (in Wasilla) my dad has a friend who owns an inn and they have pet reindeer. We got to take them for a little walk on leashes and feed them. They acted like old dogs and were super calm so it was a lot fun and even Audrey got to walk her own reindeer.
