Alaskan Adventure

We just returned from our trip to Alaska. My sister (Beth) got married, and all of my siblings were able to make it. All 5 of my parent's children have been married in the temple -- pretty awesome! It was so nice to all be together! I have posted a bunch of pictures, but none of the wedding! I had my mom's camera for the wedding photos, so I will have to get some pictures from her. :-) Just a few for now. . . I am having a traveling hang-over! It was a long trip home. We had an awesome time!

(The pictures are in random order)

Seward, Alaska. We spent the day hanging out in Seward, by the ocean. It is always a fun place to visit.

On the way back from Exit Glacier
Daniel showing me his special badge. The Park Ranger gave him a booklet to fill out, and if he did, he would get a badge. He filled it out along our journey, then Grandpa had to haul bootie back to the Ranger's office (before it closed) luckily, they made it in time -- Daniel was thrilled!

Charles and Ray discussing deep doctrine, or something . . .

William was a happy boy throwing rocks in the water
