Day 1
We went to Mooses Tooth Pizzeria for dinner when my parents arrived. Here is Breitling on Daddy's WET lap at the restaraunt. It was quite a proud moment for me when Breitling dumped Parker's whole water on his lap. Usually it's me that has that has things like that happen, so Daddy finally got it!
That night Parker had his Court of Honor so we all went and supported him. It was fun seeing him in action. He is such a great Scout Master! Here is a pic of all of the boys present who had received their Eagle Scout Award. Unfortunately Breitling and I did not enjoy it so much since we came down with some sort of bug so Breitling puked on me during it a few too many times to count.
Day 2Breitling was still a little sick most of our trip, but obviously from this pic he felt a little better. We decided to take my parents to Cordova which is the town where Parker spent his summers visiting his Grandparents. Cordova is only accesible by plane or boat so we took the ferry there. We first took the train from Anchorage to the ferry port in Whittier because it is a beuatiful train ride.
So here are some pics in the train. Breitling sure enjoyed it.
In Whittier we had quite a bit of time before our ferry left so we went salmon berry picking. Parker always talks about how good they are, but they don't have them in Anchorage so I haven't tried them yet. They were interesting. They look like a raspberry but taste like an orange.
Here we are having lunch at the port waiting for our ferry to leave.
And here we are on the ferry. Breitling of course had fun again watching out the window.
We were quite impressed how strong his little biceps are. He couldn't reach the seat with his feet, but he held himself up on the chair with his hands, and with a little supervision from Daddy.
I finally gave up containing our little mover and he got away.
Day 3Our first day in Cordova we went to Child's glacier. We were super happy it didn't rain too much! The mosquitos were pretty bad so here is our cutie with his bug net covering his stroller. It is funny how when he has his net over him all strangers conversation starter is "I wish I had one of those over me right now!"
We grilled us some sausages and steak and then built a fire and roasted some marshmallows while we watched the glacier calving. Even though it wasn't raining we were still freezing if you can't tell.
My Dad caught this cool picture of us three watching the glacier calv. If you can't tell it was a big one!
Here we are in front of the million dollar bridge. For those of you who don't know it is famous because it leads to nothing, yet in the big earthquake a few years ago it fell down and they spent a million dollars to repair it. Well, it did lead to a mine back in the day, but the mine is no longer there, and it could lead to a road to Anchorage one day, but they haven't built a road from there yet.
We rented a cute little condo in Cordova. Here we are playing some games. Breitling was sure sweet on Grandpas lap.

Day 4We did a bit of fishing in Cordova and then we decided to take my parents for a little hike into a fishing hole. We did the hike last year, but I guess we forgot that it was a little rocky and long. It ended up raining during our hike so it was very muddy too. It was quite the adventure for my parents. There were some parts of the hike that were just marshy mud with some boards to walk on. Except for Parker we all fell in a few times and ended the hike a wet muddy mess.
Breitling LOVES his backpack! He definitely stayed the driest under his little canopy and I am pretty sure he enjoyed the hike the most! Here we are at the fishing hole doing what Breitling and I do best, watching Daddy fish.
We were all getting a bit antsy to leave so Parker caught a red Salmon for us so we could feel successful and leave.
This is our before the hike picture, don't we look excited!
And here is our after picture sopping wet and muddy. Breitling is on Parkers back in case you can't see him.

Day 6
Day 7
Day 6It was awesome that Parker had Sunday off this week!!! We loved having him at church with us! We can't wait for September because then our church time changes to 9:00 am and he can come to church with us before he goes to work at 2:00.
On Sunday we had a fondue party. We started with the cheese course and then we took a walk to let it settle and then we had an awesome meat course and then we played a bunch of games to let it settle more and then we had the best course, chocolate!!!!
Day 7We drove up Hatchers Pass to an old mine and walked around. Here we are on the back of the old mine train.
Of course we had to go to the berry factory!
My parents hadn't seen any moose yet so we drove out to one of our nice parks and on the way finally saw this poor little guy with a sad antler.
We walked around on the trails and this one walked out of the bush right in front of us. After this we saw 6 more moose driving around until my parents went home so I think they saw their fair share.
My Dad let Breitling play with his iphone with music playing, well until Breitling got it super sticky:) He of course LOVED it!
He does the funniest thing when he is excited about something. He holds it up in the air and then he turns around and around in a circle on his bum. Maybe it is his way of dancing, I am not sure.
