Our Alaska Vacation.....** WARNING!!! There is a WHOLE lot of pictures....


This is the beautiful view from the hill that my mom lives on.


Ally was so excited that Mama Carol met her at the airport and she had an otter. My mom gave her an otter shirt a while ago and she has loved otters since then.


Ally with Uncle Shea and his girlfriend Madeline.


Ally was scared of my mom's new puppy Sadie when we first got there because she would jump on you, but as you can tell by the end of the trip she liked her a lot.


Gracie had her first graham cracker at Mama Carol's and LOVED it! She is getting way too big.



This is a crazy furr real bird that my mom got for Ally to play with, although I am not sure who played with it more, Ally or Grandma!! You could program the bird to say things and one of the buttons she programed to say "Crazy Grandma" and Ally would push the button so much that it kep deleting it!!! She was fascinated.


This was Ally's favorite dog that my mom has, and I mean she LOVES this dog. She still talks about her. Her name is Squirrel, but Ally called her Squird. It was the cutest thing that I have ever heard.



Gracie loved the dogs, she was not afraid at all.


This is Ally helping me fish for halibut on my mom's friend's boat. It was so much fun.




There is a beach really close to my mom's house so we went down there a lot and looked for cool rocks and seashells.


This is the moose that was in my mom's yard. How super cool to have that in your yard, and the day after we had left they had a black bear in the yard. So not fair!!



Ally loved being on the boat. She is such a geek when you pull out the camera!



The last few days of our vacation we met Jordan's sister Gretchen, her husband Robert and their kids Abby and Josh in Anchorage. They have not seen Ally since she was 9 months old and have never seen Gracie. They were so excited. We went to the zoo, the farmer's market, and to the mall. It was so fun to see them again.




Gracie loved Uncle Robert.


The last night we went to Dairy Queen and had ice cream, Ally kinda liked it!
