Alaska Day 5

Today was an activity packed day. We started our morning by heading to the glacier with a tandem kayak. We all took turns going out and kayaking around the icebergs. Jim and I went first with Finn. We weren't sure how this was going to go, but we put Finn on my lap and he loved it. He spent the whole time helping me paddle and pointing out the sites. Then LB, Rob and Emalee went out. Then Jim and Mum Mum headed out for a little ride.  Emme was happy to stay on land and splash the water with her rain boots. The kids all had fun breaking apart some glacier ice.









On our way back to the car a black bear came very close to our path and had fun watching him graze for a while.


After lunch Jeanne and I took Finn and Emalee on the mount Roberts tram and then did a little shopping downtown.

We ended our day out the road at the Shrine of St Therese. We spent the night in the Jubilee Cabin. It is high on a mountain and has an amazing view of the water. We were there going into the summer solstice, so we were able to enjoy the view all night long.
