A few days ago we were in Anchorage. While we were there, the Bear Paw festival was happening. First we went to the parade, and then to the carnival. At the carnival, I went on two rides. With Ma, I went on a spinning ride that made you feel like you are about to crash, and with Pa, I went on the ferris wheel. One day in Anchorage, we went on a short hike and saw a moose. Later that day, we saw a moose with two babies.
Later we went to a campground called Willy Wa, near Whittier. On one day we drove through a two mile tunnel to Whittier. While we were there, we went on two hikes. The first was almost straight uphill, but we were rewarded with amazing views of the Portage glacier. We saw the glacier calving. The next day we went on a hike to a snowfield. Jay loved and hated the snow. At first he ran up to it picked up some snow and started to run. Jay came back in a few seconds crying and saying, “snow is cold!” For the rest of the time the same pattern repeated itself. I had a small snowball fight with Pa, and did a little sledding with a bag. Later we saw the bore tide, which is a big wall of water coming down the arm. It was cool.
Yesterday we arrived in Seward. We took a small walk through town. This morning Ma and I went to a dog sled thing. We got to go on a two mile ride in a cart pulled by a team of sixteen dogs, who have raced in the Iditarod. Then we got to hold the puppies. Ma got a lick up her nose, and I was spitting out slobber at the end. After that I got to put on a super warm coat worn by a musher. When I took it off I was cold! It was fun.
I love the picture of you in the water! How did you do that? I also read your mom’s post about taking a shower and how great it felt. I can imagine!! What an adventure you are having!
