Today was Mothers Day and our flight and feast tour. We boarded a float plane in downtown Juneau and headed out to Taku Lodge. Finn got to be co-pilot for the flight out. He was so excited to get strapped in and put on his headset. He was grinning from ear to ear. As we headed out to the lodge we flew over the Juneau ice field, Taku glacier, and hole in the wall glacier. As we were flying I looked around and noticed all my kids were asleep, including Finn the co-pilot. Apparently the motion of the plane was very relaxing for everyone.
We landed at Taku lodge and the salmon was already cooking on the outdoor grill. We headed in to get our table. We ate lunch while one of the guides told us the history of the lodge. Finn my adventurous eater was all about the salmon. Kenzie was a little more challenging, but I did get her to try a bite.
After lunch we headed outside for a walk around the property. As we headed back to the lodge we noticed everyone standing around the grill with their cameras. There in front of the grill was a black bear licking up leftover salmon. He looked up a few times to check everyone out, but didn't seem concerned by us. The kids were all amazingly quiet and just stood staring at the bear.
Our flight back was only 10 minutes, but still beautiful. The whole day was an amazing experience, and I'm so glad we were able to do this as a family and with our best friends.
