Well, we are finally home from our wonderful trip in Alaska! I decided to finally update with the rest of our pictures. We had a great time and we loved being with family! Wayne is already starting to plan the next trip back.
We finally got to see our bear! These pictures were taken a couple days after our hike on the Russian River. Wayne spotted this bear from the side of the road. This bear was finishing up his lunch and Wayne kept asking if I wanted to get out of the truck to take a better shot. I felt pretty safe in the car and I think these pictures turned out just fine!
On our way back home from Seward, Wayne spotted another
Grizzly running through grass in a location that wasn't too far from where we saw our first bear. Those bears can run fast and we didn't get any pictures of him but we had fun watching him.
We took the boys to the Sea Life Center in Seward. We were able to get up close to the Puffins, which I loved, but Fisher was way more interested in watching the big
Sealion swim in circles!
Chase enjoying some time to just
stretch out! He is rolling over and loving being on his stomach.
One of Wayne's favorite things to do growing up in Alaska is visiting the beach where the
Kenai River dumps out into the ocean. Fisher just loved being on the beach and we couldn't get him to leave! He kept trying to run into the water to keep playing in it. I told Wayne that next year we need to take him to the beaches on San Diego or better yet...
Hawaii! Fisher would LOVE that!
Fisher's first golfing lesson with Uncle Derek!
The only Bull Moose I saw on the whole trip!
Chase with his cousin Maddie and Pops!
Our last night in Alaska we decided to go bowling and Fisher just loved this. He just stood there watching
every one's ball go down the lane and then he would get so excited when they knocked the pins down. Wayne and Uncle Derek decided that Fisher should learn how to bowl... he had a blast!
The
Crowder boys ... and
lil' Maddie!
Summer is finally over and so we had to take Fisher to his favorite place this summer one last time. Fisher absolutely enjoyed the water fountains at the Gateway in downtown Utah. He would always get excited and stand at the very edge watching all of the kids get soaked, but he would never venture in. I guess this time he found the courage because he ended up soaked!
I decided to finally finish the much needed yard work and Fisher decided that he would help. And he did! He thought it was a lot of fun to laugh at mom while she raked the leaves and pulled the weeds. He thought that many of the flowers needed pulling and decided that they too should go in the wheelbarrow. Once we finally got everything in, Fisher pulled everything out! It kept us both busy.
