Skagway Cont.

A desert in Canada





Emerald Lake

Skagway Alaska

Our next port of call was in Skagway. Instead of doing a shore excursion in Skagway we rented a car with our friends who came on the cruise with us and drove into Canada and up into the Yukon to a place called Emerald Lake. Because we drove we were able to stop at the many scenic viewpoints and get great pictures.




A marmot we spotted.



The White Pass and Yukon train

Juneau Alaska

Our first port of call on our cruise was Juneau Alaska. Aaron wanted to do a glacier hike so while he did that I went on a different excursion to a rainforest/gardens and then out to the Mendenhall Glacier visitors center (I have been getting pain in my right hip that prevented me from doing a hike). These are pictures Aaron took out at Mendenhall Glacier while on his hike.

Q Has a Black Eye

Yesterday Q was playing around on his bed, hiding under the covers when he whacked his eye on the bed frame. Not sure how exactly he did it, but lots of crying ensued naturally. We tried to put some ice (in the form of frozen corn) on his eye, but he was having none of it. Popcicles on the other hand work quite well at getting him calmed down. He's been doing great today and it doesn't seem to bother him much so we'll just have to wait until the swelling and pretty colors go away. :)

*I think you'll have to click on the pictures to enlarge them to get a better look at the eye.*

Prius

Happy Birthday to me!!! After talking about getting a new car for several years and more seriously in the last year, we finally went ahead and bought one. The pictures aren't the best since I took them while the car was in the garage, but check out the purty blue color! Loving it :)

I know these are a bit behind the times, but I'm finally getting them onto the computer!
