Glacier & wildlife cruise

This was the first time the kids and I have ever been out on the ocean. I thought it was awesome and that the kids did very well for 7 hours out on a boat. Here are just a few pics of what we saw on the cruise.

Porcupine

I didnt know porcupines could climb trees.

GREEN!

Everything is finally turning green! It is so beautiful here with everything on the ground green and the mountain tops still white. I love the beauty I live around.

Mama bear and her 2 cubs

Bears

Today we saw 3 different bears all really close together and luckily they were around when we went and got our camera. So we now have some pics of black bears :) The 3rd one was too far away and you cant really see it in the picture so I didnt put it on here. Peyton kept calling them baby bears and wanted to go pet them...so sweet but...nope.

This one noticed Tairel taking pictures but just kept doing what it was doing. It was cool.

Here is a video. Its loud because there is a waterfall and big trucks driving nearby.

The Alaska state bird

We kill several of these every day. I think our record is about 15? The only down side to summer :(
