Back From Alaska!

Last week we took a 10-day trip to Alaska! It was a lot of fun, but the flight with a 1-year-old riding in lap was NOT fun. Overall Ezekiel did pretty well, though. I think he had a lot of fun seeing his cousins.
Some of the things we did: Visit Potter's Marsh, where we saw a few bald eagles! (not pictured)
We drove up to Matanuska Glacier, where it was a chilly 20 degrees, plus strong wind. The babies did not have much fun at the glacier, but it was awesome to see. Thankfully, Luke and Amber had lots of warmies for us to borrow!
We participated in a family-oriented race, in which the littlest of our party shared the jog stroller.
We got snowed on in Girdwood! Ezekiel followed his cousins' lead to learn that snow can be fun!
And of course we spent some time around the house, so that Ezekiel could help his cousins explore the place.
