I have always wanted to kiss a moose..lol
Zack, Sammi, Tracy, Linda and Shari

if you look closely.. this sign says Doggie is in timeout.. how cute of course only a tourist would take a picture of this..lol
Stacie..here is your picture with a totempole.. we didn't see any where we were..they must be in a different part of alaska
Linda and a mail bag
we stopped at this place..and boy..what a bunch of junk.. it was crazy


These are just some pictures on our way to talkeetna it was kind of rainy and cold


at our dinner show you could pay 1.00 to get a kiss.. my uncle Howie getting a kiss and David getting the kiss I paid for Zack but he ran away..little turd


We stayed a couple of nights in these little cabins and this was our view from them

Moose, Moose, Moose.. everywhere Moose.. I kept looking for the male ones but I guess they loose thier antlers every year..



whoops..here is the picture of david getting zack's kiss
this owl was great.. it is just a baby but as soon as I took the picture it looked right at me.. how amazing. I love owls
when it was raining you see the clouds.. but when it lifts.. it is amazing


the gang on our danali bus tour


Sheep high on a mountain
linda


Zack.. doesn't he look like he loves posing for pictures..lol


On the bus.. uncle howie was looking at aunt tracys pictures and accidently deleted them all.. so this is a picture of him taking more to make up for the ones he got rid of.. linda did this also but on her camera.. no one was getting my camera..lol
see how pretty it is when the clouds lift.. and the sky is so blue.. not like back home.. I guess this is the clean living


we went to a hot springs and ice museum and the bugs where crazy here.. here is a picture of linda and the bugs all around her
linda driving over zack

we got to see a dog sled team.. these dogs are beautiful

Sammi, Aunt Susie and Aunt Bonnie


this is the ice museum everything is made of ice.. it was awesome

a moose by us getting a drink

Uncle howies car got a flat so howie, david and I spent the night at howies friends house on a military base.. while we were driving there on base we saw this momma moose and her baby.. oh and by the way.. it is like 10 pm here.. it is daylight all day long..crazy



How fun is this town.. it is north pole alaska.. and all the light poles look like candy canes and such.. this is actually where all the letters to santa come to.. what a fun place!



if you ever go to alaska you have to take this white water rafting trip with this company.. talk about customer service.. they took my camera and took pictures of us and really gave us a lot of personal attention. we were on the matanuska river and the company is Matanuska Madwater rafting company.. www.matanuskamadwater.com I am telling you.. they were the friendliest group of people and they had snacks waiting for us after our trip.

Elaine and Zack.. Elaine had a little posse with the kids.
we went to glacier park in sutton alaska and the glacier was so blue.. I don't think you can really see how blue.. but in the picture above.. is shari, linda and aunt bonnie
Zack checking out things

we stopped to eat after the rapids and there were too llamas tied up as pets or something.. but look at this face.. how cute!

all of us after our rafting trip

so those are the pictures I took.. it was really amazing and I had a great time meeting all of my family. It was really sad to leave them all.. but the good news is ..that they decided that the next reunion is going to be in 2 years and we will be doing a hawaiian cruise!!! I am so there!
thanks for experiencing alaska with us!
