Goodbye Alaska!!

We had a day out with Dad to show him all the fun stuff we did this summer while he was working!
Pioneer Park





Last ride on the carousel

Santa's House
Santa was away from his house when we went but Madi still told Daddy all about him.


Goodbye Alaska! We will miss you.


Sidenote... This house was an extreme makeover house. Pretty cool huh?!

There is a football field in the backyard with full sized goal posts.

Here are some pictures from the drive home. This is the prettiest place I've ever seen (Alaska/Canada) and I have been a lot of places
A glacier on the side of the road...





We stopped at Bear Country in Hyder, AK on the way home and saw zero bears :(. Here we are in Bear Country...




We did see tons of bears on the rest of the drive though. There were bears on the side of the road there like there are deer on the side of the road here. It was crazy! Here is one of the many bears we saw.


It was kind of a bummer that we were driving through Canada on the 4th of July. We still wore our red, white, and blue!




A big thanks to Stephen Scott and Posey!! They drove from Alaska and they were such a big help. They were forewarned what it would be like in a car with a 1 and 2 year old for 4 days straight. Stephen sat in the back with me and entertained the girls and even slept through all of their screaming.

Ice Museum in Alaska

The last day that Katy and Amanda were in Alaska, Amanda and I went to an Ice Museum. I'm so glad we did. They had so many awesome things carved out of ice.
It was freezing in there!
