Celebrating Dad

We had a great father's day celebrating the best dad out there. It started with breakfast, something both Audrey and dad really enjoy, followed by a family hike and hotdogs on the grill for dinner. It was a beautiful day!

Giving dad his gift.

Don't be fooled, dad had baby for most of the hike, mom was just giving it a try.

Walking around stretching the legs

Exhausted, enjoying the sunshine

Experiencing Alaska

We traveled up to visit Aunt Bean and Uncle Saxton, as well as tons of Alaskan wildlife. Because Audrey will likely not remember this great adventure, we'll relive it here, and hopefully we'll be back soon.

First bear we found. Audrey, sleeping in the stroller, missed it.

Glacier cruise out of Seward

Monk Seals

Humpbacks and Orcas gave a show

Cute sea otters, 'just kickin it'

At the glacier

Watching ice melt and fall was more captivating than you would think...

Such a trooper on our long drives.

Walking around Eagle River with our bear dog.

Denali...where we saw Caribou, lambs, foxes, grizzlies and pretty landscape.

A baby moose, barely able to walk, calling for mom.

A 6-hour bus tour. She did great.

A day in A-town.

And a night a the SUP (Shearer Underground Pub)

So much fun with A. Bean and U. Saxton

Happy to see Grandma!

Jelly Monkey

First swim lesson as a Jelly Monkey. 

A little unsure in the beginning, but laughing and smiling by the end. 

"Daddy didn't realize there would be singing involved in swim lessons" :)

Walking - A Whole New World

Audrey has been taking some steps for the last four weeks or so. It's mostly been just 4-5 steps in between mom and dad and falling forward in excitement. However, this last week on our trip to Alaska, she really took off - and you can see how happy she is about her new found independence!

Hard Work

Riding a bike can be hard work.
