Alaska Cruise Part 2...

More cruise fun.

A day in Skagway.

My sister and I went shopping... hey if you go on an Alaskan cruise do all your shopping in Ketchikan.

There was good stuff there + it was cheap!

I waited, figuring every stop would be that way.

So I ended up searching for stuff for the girls here in Skagway.

I came up empty handed.

Funny thing is, none of them even asked me if we had brought them back anything.

So....

 

 Shane and I had booked an ocean rafting adventure.

It was super fun.

we got all bundled up in our survival gear haha.

I was certain from the looks of this get-up that we were going to get soaked on this excursion.

But actually not at all, not even much ocean spray on us.

It was super fun!  Great scenery + a great time.

Shane could tell you about the engine on this thing.

Apparently it was something to ooooh and ahhhh over but I just know that we zipped across the water and had a fun time!

We saw waterfalls...

 tons of eagles...

seals...

More fun with the family that night.

 

The next day was a sea day.

More games, fun with the family.

Trivia games, entertainment etc.

 And another delicious dinner...

Jeff and Kimi

Andy and Missy 

Dan and Kayce 

Shane and Angie :)

 

Nate and Becky

 

Shelly and Rich

 

Paige, Steve and my mama (Paige didn't want a couple picture)  hahahaha

And the best parents ever.

They raised 7 kids.

They deserve lots of  extra pats on the back.

Cuz 7 seems like a WHOLE bunch more than 5 to me!  hahaha

It was fun to have our rooms next to each other.

The last day we made a late night stop in Victoria.

We docked during our dinner.

Shane and I didn't really have anything we wanted to do off the ship, so we just stayed on for one last night of games with the family.

Earlier in the day we took more pictures.

 Everyone has members of their family who really think more than one picture is too many right?

Yeah I do too, so they were sick of me by the end of the cruise.

I blamed it all on, "Mom wants them."

Sorry Mom.

Just trying to keep peace with the siblings. :)

O and thanks to all the random people that took these pictures for us!

 My favorite boys...

 and my favorite girls...

(+ my 5 girls we left at home, you're my favorites too!)

It was an amazing week.

We laughed a lot.

We ate a lot.

We played a lot.

It has been YEARS since we have ALL been together.

Happy 50th Anniversary Mom & Dad.

We love you both dearly!

And we'll never forget this week!
