Fun at the Zoo

In between mom's work schedule, dad and Audrey came down for a visit to the zoo. Audrey loved pointing out, waving and blowing kisses to the animals, but mostly enjoyed the freedom to just run around and around.

Dad forgot the bloomers...however, probably felt nice in the 90 deg heat.

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.

Humpbacks and Orcas gave a show

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" :)
