Alaska-Part 6-God's beautiful creation

Alright everyone, this is the last Alaska post. This (besides spending time with family) was the best part of the trip. God is amazing.

A waterfall at Mendenhall Glacier.

We went on a hike; it was beautiful!

Dad and Ian climbing on the rocks.

Dad, Mom, Ian and Seth rode on this tram 1800 feet up the side of Mt. Roberts.

Cruising through Hubbard Glaciers. This picture was taken from the ship.

Ice

Thank you SO MUCH Grandpa and Grandma for taking us on this trip. It was AWESOME!!!!!!

Fun with Angelina

This week our cousin, Angelina, and our grandma stayed with us for a few days. We had a lot of fun with them!

On the trampoline

Andrea and Angelina

They started off playing on the Slip 'n' Slide....

Then our neighbor invited us over to go swimming! :D

Grandma and Mom

Flowers

Wow, God's creation is beautiful!!

It is so nice out today! Spring!!!! Andrea got her camera the other day and she took these pictures (and a bunch more ☺) on it. Isn't it amazing that God knows every little detail of every one of these flowers?!?!
Blessings,
Marissa

Taking a walk

Yesterday we went on a walk looking for good pictures...

Starting out....

This was on the way back home.

Isn't this a cool picture? Andi took it. :D

Elaina smelling the flowers.

We have a lot of pretty wildflowers on our road! :D

Thanks for coming, Erin! We had fun with you! :D

Rollerblading

Seth is actually getting pretty good at using these rollerblades. :D

The Trees

Well, the trees have become and embarrassment!
Okay...Maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but I have to say;
putting sheets on the trees was pretty awkward.
I'll explain! ☺

Well, my dad found out that it was supposed to be a cold night, and maybe even a frost, so of course, he had to protect his new little trees. He and mom were up very late putting sheets over all of his trees! It was pretty bad!

Orange and red....how stylish! haha

You have to admit....it looks pretty funny! ☺

In the 'Forest'

Ian had a lot of fun!

I can safely say that this is one of my favorite pictures of Elaina!

Me standing next to the GIANT Oak.

Seth looking up at the HUGE trees! They were amazing!

haha this is all a joke! It is in our yard.....but it was a lot of fun pretending we were in a forest! ☺

Gardening....

The master gardener and his little helpers.... :D

Taking a break.
Already?

We have a huge pile of wood chips that need to go somewhere. The pile is slowly getting smaller.

Ian caught a frog! Yay! He caught one the other day but then it died..... so he was happy to have another one. :D

I found this perfect rock in some dirt and thought it would look better as a decoration. Mom threw it into the trees...... :( But I found it again! :D

Let's see how this goes.........
