Day 3 and 4 Still in Homer

We were able to get the full tour of Homer by cruising the town and by 4-wheeling. We had beautiful weather and yet everything was muddy. Which made 4-wheeling a blast. We were able to get good pictures of glaciers, moose, and some adult and juvenile bald eagles. This first moose is probably one of the ones that like to eat my Aunt's peas.




















Yes I have more flower pictures :)






At first we thought this was a golden eagle but then realized that it was a juvenile bald eagle.


MUDDY!!!!!!







This was a picture of the group before we got muddy





If you see that most of this sand looks black it is because it is. It is coal that washes up on shore.

First 2 days in Alaska

So we started our Alaska adventure by flying to Anchorage, Alaska. We got in at night and just walked around downtown and found something to eat. This was a lot harder than anticipated. Either the restaurants were closed, had a 2 hour wait, or wanted $17 for a hamburger. We found a dive at the train station that we were able to find something to eat since it was now 830pm.

The next morning we got up at 400am to get to the temple by 530 session. The first picture is how the temple looks at 530. The next 2 pictures were taken at 730.













We then hit the road to drive to Homer, Alaska. Where we stayed with my Aunt Janet and Uncle Aron. Our first sighting of wildlife were these Dahl Sheep.











The rest of the drive was made up of beautiful scenery.























Of course I had to take several flower pictures :)

















We finally made it to Homer!!!





On the Spitz of Homer there is this very cool Seafarer's Memorial



TO BE CONTINUED!!!!

SPRING in COLORADO

I know! I know! It has been forever since I have updated my blog. Pretty much I have been working long hours at work, studying and taking tests to finish my RN this year (finally), and yet still trying to have a social life. This has been my life for the past several months and will continue to be my life for several more but I was able to go to Grand Junction for the past 10 days and actually experience SPRING since Utah is still having winter weather. It even rained a couple days but I did not mind because it was rain and not snow :) I helped Mom clean out part of the basement and we ended up taking to truck full of stuff to Goodwill. I also was recruited to sing in the Ward choir for Easter, which ended up having 3 practices while I was there. We also colored Easter Eggs and had wonderful home cooked meals! Thank you MOM!!! We also changed my oil and brakes on my car. Thank you DAD!!!
