Yay for Costco!

Yesterday was a great day because our order from costco came! We had boxes and boxes of food, and it took us like 2 hours to put all our stuff away and our freezer is jammed pack full of food (not joking). But we have food now, yay and we don't have to spend splodes of money at the market now cause food and pretty much everything else is way expensive here. Kendra's mom sent her a disc with the last two episodes of American Idol, the Office, and So You Think You can Dance, so we get to watch TV now. Oh and I was flipping through the channels the other day just for kicks and I found PBS and pretty sure I watched Mr. Rogers and I was pretty excited about it.



Food is good but we have way too much of it!

BONFIRE!!!

The other day we went up to smugglers cove at like 11 pm and had a bonfire, keep in mind that is was still light outside cause it doesn't get dark here until about 12 am which is pretty sweet, then it gets light again at about 3 or 4. Its a lot of fun! But ya we had a fire and just chilled and it was way cool!

Me and Ali by the fire


Pretty

P.S.

Oh and Rachel looks like she's having a lot of fun with softball. Pitcher huh? That's pretty sweet!

(Rachel was upset that I didn't mention anything about her on my last post haha)

Just Another Day in Skagway

Hey hey! Nothing really exciting happened today except I got the day off and we got to take a tour of all the stores in Skagway and we got a bunch of free things which was pretty cool!! Yesterday we worked for about 14 hours straight which was nuts. The store owner is coming next week so we are organizing and getting things all spick n span! I've been looking at everyones blogs, it looks like everyone is doin good. Mikelle sorry I can't be there to play, if you want to take a detour to Alaska on the way back Cali that'd be ok haha. Emery looks so precious in her pink little tutu and she's getting so chubby I love it! Meg looks so cute in her dance costume and I can't believe how big she's getting! Tyson and Tracies blog is so cute, looks like the kids are very helpful with the garden and stuff haha! Oh and Amy (Goffin) thanks for all the random comments, I especially like the "whale" one! So when are you and Jace getting hitched? Well that's all for now have fun erbody!


Pretty sure I was freaking out when I saw this box sitting in someones driveway, I just had to take a picture of it! The kid on the box even looks like ANdy... kinda haha!

Today I went to Canada.. and Haines... oh and I saw a humpback whale!

Today was a pretty exciting day! All the touristy things were basically free for all the locals today so we did some pretty fun stuff. This morning me and Kendra went on a bike tour to Canada which was way awesome. Ali couldn't come cause she didn't have her birth certificate to get through customs which was a bummer. But then we took a ferry to a little town about 20 minutes away by boat. The town is called Haines and we spent most of the day there. The town is definitely not as cool as Skagway but it was fun. On and on the ferry ride to Haines, we saw 2 humpback whales and I was pretty excited cause I've never seen a whale before! Well that's all for now!

Can you believe I'm in Canada? I've never been in canada before so I was pretty excited! It was cold though!

We just went through customs

A WHALE!!

Oh Canada! This was actually in Haines but what the heck


COLD WATER

This is my new pet starfish, I named him Haines cause I found him on the Haines beach.

Cool beans!

Ok... I Guess Hiking is Cool!

So clearly I've never been much of an outdoorsy kinda girl but I think all that is changing. We went on a really cool hike the other day. We met these cool kids that like to hike and know their stuff so they asked if we wanted to go and we decided what the heck. So it was about a 7 mile hike, we went up the this icy lake which is coincidentally called Icy Lake haha. Then we went up to the Reid Waterfalls which are really cool. Then today me, Ali, and Kendra just went on a little hike to the bottom of Reid Waterfalls which was really cool! This is the coolest place ever!


This is Icy Lake, ya it was pretty icy!




Isn't this cool, look at all the moss!


Don't go chasin waterfalls please stick to the rivers and the lakes that your used to, I know that your gonna have it your way or nothin at all but I think you're moving to fast.


A sweet cave


Checkout the sweet waterfall behind me


We went to a play last night and this was in the lobby, too bad I don't know how to use it!

Very Rainy Day

This is my rain getup, it has been raining really hard the last couple days, and when it rains it's is freezing!!!


We're making out shirts change color via the uv lamp!


Here we are again.. not working

Hard at Work... not really!

Today me and Ali worked but it was really slow cause we only had one ship in port! So we decided to take pictures and document are working experience. Also a couple days ago we went exploring again and we saw some cool stuff like this old cemetery that has graves from the 1800s, it was pretty cool! As we were walking down state street we some some pretty funny things in people's yards so we took pictures of it!


Me and ALi hard at work playing solitaire!

Our Day of Exploring

On Tuesday we all got our first day off so we went and explored Skagway! We ate lunch at a cute little cafe then we went to the ocean and I saw a seal!! Then on the way back we saw some guy driving a forklift down the street haha, that just gives you a little feel of how small this town really is! There's a really good ice cream shop here and we go there almost everyday! It's a blast here and we're working hard but having fun too!

We made it!!

We got to ride in this little commuter plane or something like that! It was so cool, we basically got a tour of Alaska from the sky!

We finally made it to Skagway! It's such a fun little town! All the shops are cute and colorful it looks like the backlot of Universal Studios or something! We have been working way hard for the last 3 days. Our store has been moved to across the street so we've been trying to get it put together. We've been working all day and part of the night... crazy! But it's really fun here, we're going to go explore the town tomorrow so that should be cool!
